Combined ICD10 codes

To code some diagnoses as part of ICD10 collection, several lines of entries in the Patient viewer tab ICD10 need to be grouped together.

To group diagnoses together, use the same Dx Priority for all of them.

Coding instructions

Template:Discussion to come... see also Coding fractures in ICD10

Template:Discussion Need details... but:

• antibiotic resistances need to be linked with their infection and their pathogen
• injuries / traumas with their mechanism
• metastatic malignancies, code primary

• Template:Discussion Allan will coem up with others
• Template:Discussion Tina needs to import the >1 needed codes

Example

The following might be coded together:

• Gas gangrene (usually due to Clostridium perfringens)
• Clostridium perfringens

Transition notes

Yes, this different from how we used to use dx priorities where they had to be unique.

Data

The records are combined by same L_ICD10.Dx Priority.
