Differentiate comprehensive health assessment to focused health assessment?

Comprehensive health assessment examines the whole body by a complete physical (head-to-toe) examination. A focused health assessment is system limited or problem-oriented. System limited would mean the person performing the assessment examines only the circulatory system.
