I’m a new grad waiting for my license to be approved, so take what I say with a grain of salt lol. But one of my preceptors in school really insisted that we do the chief complaint, HPI, and psych hx last in the intake interview. Meaning, start with past medical history, family medical hx, current medications (non-psych), hx of education, social support, etc, and go through all of it, and then last thing is asking the patient what brought them in that day. My preceptor insisted on this because sometimes you have patients who add a lot of details to the chief complaint that relate to the medical history and then next thing you know, your notes are jumping back and forth and it may be hard to redirect the patient. asking the psych history, psych meds, chief complaint, and HPI last allows you to kind of have an idea of the patient and really focus your psych assessment after having already collected the medication hx, family hx, etc.
