Medical - Medical (general) / medical reports
Italian term or phrase: inquadramento clinico
I still have trouble with this word 'inquadramento' after years of trying to understand it.

This is from the admitting history of a patient with pneumonia (the history isn't relevant in this case). We have two instances of this little phrase:

Inquadramento Clinico - Anamnesi Generale: (followed by the history)

Inquadramento Clinico - Esame Obiettivo: (followed by the physical exam findings)

What do they mean by this / how should I translate it?

Reference: Inquadramento in Campo Medico - Clinical Assessment and Classification

Reference information:
L’inquadramento diagnostico: aspetti clinici. Mentre in alcuni casi assai semplici la d. può essere diretta, ossia formulabile, essenzialmente, sulla base della semplice ispezione (come è il caso, per es., di alcune malattie cutanee), molto spesso, invece, essa è il risultato di una complessa analisi di vari ordini di elementi che vengono ricercati, elaborati e concatenati in vari momenti: l’ordinata e completa raccolta dell’anamnesi, il rilievo dei sintomi attraverso l’esame obiettivo, la ponderata valutazione e interpretazione di essi, l’orientativo incasellamento nosografico del caso in esame, la critica discriminazione di quest’ultimo dagli altri quadri morbosi che possono in qualche modo simularlo o rispecchiarlo (d. differenziale). Tutto ciò presuppone la conoscenza della patologia generale e speciale, della semeiotica e della clinica, oltreché dell’anatomia e della fisiologia.

Inquadramento = analisi, classificazione
