    The Cornell Medical Index Health Questionnaire is a 195-question self-administered form that collects medical and psychiatric data from patients without a physician present. It allows doctors to make preliminary diagnoses based on the information before interviewing patients. Each question was rigorously tested for accuracy and medical relevance. Studies found the questionnaire useful for comprehensive medicine by helping physicians understand all aspects of a patient's health issues. It collects only symptom data reported by patients. The most effective use is for patients to complete it in advance of appointments so doctors can review it and make diagnostic inferences to discuss during interviews.
