Diagnosis List

The diagnosis list is the place to manage the different diagnoses that can be selected for an evaluation or case record.

The diagnosis list grid is similar to the patient list grid. It can be sorted or searched by each column visible on the screen. For more information, see Grids under Common Program Features. The window can also be maximized to show a larger list with all columns visible.

• To add a diagnosis, click the "Add New" button. The screen below will appear.
• To edit a diagnosis, double-click on the diagnosis in the grid or highlight the diagnosis in the grid and click the "Edit" button. The screen below will appear.
• To delete a diagnosis, highlight the diagnosis in the grid and click the "Delete" button.
• To print the diagnosis list, apply any filter with the drop down box at the top, sort the list any way desired, and click the Print button.

Enter the "Description", "ICD9 Code", and "Visits Expected" for the diagnosis. Select a "Category" that the diagnosis belongs to. QuickEMR comes with the categories of ankle, knee, shoulder, spine, and hand. More categories can be added if needed through the Master Lists screen.

If a disgnosis is marked as "Inactive" will no longer appear in drop down lists in the program.

Templates for Care Plan problems and Goals can also be created on this screen. When these templates are created for a particular diagnosis and a Care Plan is being entered for a case, the user will have the option to click a button and load the templates from this screen instead of maually entering problems and goals. Problems and Goals on this screen can be entered by:

• Clicking on the row reading "CLICK TO ADD RECORD". After clicking on this row, a text box will appear for the user to type anything into the field.
• Clicking the button with the magnifying glass to pull up the corresponding master list. This list works the same way as all of the other search lists. For more information, see Search Lists.
• Pasting the problems and goals from another diagnosis. Since some diagnoses will be similar and have like problems and goals, you can access a diagnosis from the main diagnosis list, select the "Copy Problems & Goals" button, open a different diagnosis where these will be copied to, and finally select the "Paste Problems & Goals" button. If any slight changes are needed, simply click on the text in the description row and edit as needed.

 

The Common Measurements and Common Charges & Exercises are currently not being used.

 

Along with the templates for problems and goals, protocols can also be entered for each diagnosis in the system.

To enter protocols, simply select a tab and begin typing. Carriage returns can be used in these text fields to help keep things aligned and for lists that might be needed.

To print a protocol, select the tab to bring it to the foreground and click the "Print" button that is located on that protocol's tab (right hand side of the screen).

The Copy Protocols and Paste Protocols works in the same manner that the copy and paste feature does for the problems and goals. This copy and paste feature will copy and paste ALL of the protocols for a diagnosis.
