title: [Anamnesis and clinical examination].
abstract: Anamnesis and clinical examination are the key functions of medical doctors to reveal the health problems of their patients. The correct assessment and handoff of these informations are the preconditions for a specific and cost saving diagnostic and therapy. The handoff can be made orally, in written form analogue or digital. The examination and documentation should be conducted in the order specified for every patient to avoid mistakes. New digital programs help to reach this aim but absorb the time of the medical doctor and depart him from the patients. Nurses and medical doctors should perform the rounds together for a mutually acquisition of information. This conduces towards a single-minded and cost-effectively diagnostic and therapy.
