Collection Instructions

Determining which diagnosis to code

Template:Discussion Collectors, any good hints for this? Any better ways to tell the things I mention? Target audience: a new collector.

• search wiki for the dx name
• search wiki for a different name or acronym
• find a related article and check it's
  • alternate diagnosis links
  • related articles links
  • categories

to see if the dx you actually want is in there

Chronic drug abuse

• How do we code chronic drug abuse in comorbs, if we don't know the specific drug(s)? Most of the time patients just have 'chronic drug abuse' in their history, but nothing more specific. --Jvelasco 14:40, 2017 December 13 (CST)
  • Illicit drug use, no? I added "chronic drug abuse" to that page so it can be found in the future. Please add other wordings that collectors would be more likely to search by. Ttenbergen 10:56, 2017 December 21 (CST)

Entering the diagnosis into CCMDB.mdb

ICD10 diagnoses are entered in the L_ICD10 subform on the Patient viewer tab ICD10 in CCMDB.mdb.

Some diagnoses are coded as several lines of data as combined ICD10 codes.

To enter one line of data,

1. If not already there, in Patient Viewer, click the ICD10 tab
2. click the dropdown for type and chose one of the following
   • Admit - Admit Diagnosis
     • if it is the Primary Admit Diagnosis then check the primary checkbox to the left of the type
   • Acquired - Acquired Diagnosis / Complication
   • Comorbid - Comorbid Diagnosis
3. if you know the diagnosis name verbatim, you can click into the Dx field and start typing; else, use the ICD10 Chooser form
4. if you are entering an Acquired Diagnosis / Complication, enter the Dx_Date
   • if the date is unavailable, check the Dx Date unknown checkbox.
   • you can use the *, +, - buttons to set the date
5. enter a Dx_Priority to group together combined ICD10 codes
