In medical terms, CC stands for ‘Chief Complaint.’ This refers to the primary reason a patient seeks medical attention. It is usually the main symptom or issue that the patient describes during their initial visit to a healthcare provider. The chief complaint helps guide the healthcare provider in diagnosing and treating the patient effectively. For example, if a patient visits a doctor because of a persistent cough, the chief complaint would be noted as ‘cough.’ This information is crucial for medical history documentation and ensures that the healthcare provider addresses the patient’s primary concern.
