For other diagnoses, see Comorbid Diagnosis and Acquired Diagnosis / Complication.
Admit diagnoses are what led to the patient's admission to your unit. The most responsible reason why the patient was admitted should be given the highest priority on the PDA and in Access. In other words, for the admit diagnosis, the "worst" problem is first. This results in that diagnosis being put into "slot one" in TMSX.
Maximum Number of Admit Diagnoses
The PDA and the CCMDB.mdb can record any number of admit diagnoses. However, only the six (6) with the highest priority will be appended to TMSX. So, you can track as many diagnoses as you want as you go along, and then delete or re-prioritize to only send the most relevant.
Data Structure
Admit Diagnoses are stored in L_Dxs on the PDA and in the CCMDB.mdb.
