Hi, Mathias!

True. Agree many times "standards" are made by bureaucratsthat want to get the
clerical work done by health professionals, and do not have a correlation with
the medical, day by day practice.

Yes. GNU Health has medical visits of type:
- Well-child visit
- Well-[woman|man] visit
- Chronic / followup

In those cases no need for CC or HPI. In any case, they're optional.

For immunizations, best is to use the vaccination model, not the evaluation,
although you could use both.
