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.Template:Discuss@task

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

Coding instructions

• See Antibiotic Resistance codes in ICD10 for how to combine-code dxs in Category:Pathogens with those in Category:Antibiotic resistance
• See Mechanism codes in ICD10 for how to combine-code dxs in Category:Injury/poisoning with those in Category:Mechanism

• metastatic malignancies, code primary

see also Coding fractures in ICD10 Template:Discussion 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.
