*One idea might be to eliminate the use of "other categories" in the diagnosis  sections.  We don't really need this categorization any more.  For example, instead of having  to go into "other cardiovascular procedures" and find the item, one would just type in the item directly like permanent pacemaker so that tab and type would go faster.  The "other" categories would need to be reviewed and revamped.  The numerical system would be unchanged. This would make both entering comorbids and diagnostic codes immensely more efficient.  I don't mind helping with this if you decide it could work.

*Another thing that I believe could be eliminated is acute care map in variable 2.  Betty Lou had mentioned in a meeting a few years ago that this was no longer necessary.  All  patient who have acute MI are on the care map.  This is just an unnecessary piece of data to add.  --[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 14:52, 27 October 2010 (CDT)--
