I discussed with Fran and Con that, if there were groups of diagnoses that often go together, it might be possible to combine them somehow. I could add a limited number of buttons to e.g. put in "cardiovascular- Hypertension, MI, hypercholesterol, etc." as requested by Con. Could collectors provide a list of dx groups for which this would be useful? | I discussed with Fran and Con that, if there were groups of diagnoses that often go together, it might be possible to combine them somehow.

*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. | *One idea might be to eliminate the use of "other categories" in the diagnosis sections.

*Tina, I for one, would think this a great idea as the diagnosis would be more visible and typing the diagnosis in would defenitely be faster. Deb K | |||
