Comprehensive health assessment examines the whole body by a complete physical (head-to-toe) examination. A focused health assessment is system limited or problem-oriented. System limited would mean the person performing the assessment examines only the circulatory system. A problem-oriented assessment would be performed if a patient said they were "short of breath" and would include systems that might influence effective breathing (respiratory and circulatory systems).

The three parts of a complete patient examination typically include the history taking, physical examination, and assessment/evaluation of findings. The history taking involves gathering information about the patient's symptoms, medical history, and any relevant details. The physical examination involves a hands-on evaluation of the patient's body to assess different systems and functions. Finally, the assessment/evaluation phase involves analyzing all collected information to arrive at a diagnosis or treatment plan.
It is called a Review of Systems, systems enquiry, or systems review.

To accurately determine which body systems are being evaluated, additional context about the patient's symptoms, medical history, or specific tests being conducted would be necessary. Commonly evaluated systems may include the cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, or neurological systems, depending on the presenting issues. For instance, if a patient is undergoing a chest X-ray, the respiratory and cardiovascular systems may be assessed.
