What is OLDCARTS?

A framework for analyzing a symptom: onset, location, duration, character, aggravating factors, relieving factors, timing and severity. It gives structure to the subjective section and helps make sure you have not missed a dimension of the complaint. PQRST is an alternative covering similar ground.

This comes up on Health Assessment and SOAP Notes, where it is answered in the context of the work itself.
