Abstract: A computer-implemented method of assessing a patient is provided. In some embodiments, the method includes displaying a first set of queries concerning a patient and receiving a response to at least one of the queries, the response indicating that the patient has recently experienced at least one of (i) losing consciousness, (ii) falling, and (iii) being uncertain about whether the patient has lost consciousness. Processing of responses to further query sets can be utilized to determine a differential diagnosis and recommendations regarding hospital admission, treatment, follow-up medical tests, and billing codes for the patient's condition that may have led to her faint or fall.
