Entering the diagnosis into CCMDB.mdb

ICD10 diagnoses are entered in 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 Dx_Type and chose one of the following
   • Admit - Admit Diagnosis
   • 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 ICD10Chooser form
4. if you are entering an Acquired Diagnosis / Complication, enter the Dx_Date.
5. enter a Dx_Priority, both to designate a Primary Admit Diagnosis and to group together combined ICD10 codes
