Acquired Diagnoses are significant problems, complication & surgical and diagnostic procedures that occur after ward admission. Acquired Diagnoses used to be referred to as "complications" in the context of this database. Acquired Diagnoses are drawn from S_AllDiagnoses and stored in L_Dxs on the PDA and in the CCMDB.mdb.

Acquired diagnoses do not refer to diagnoses that have been made after the patient comes to ward, if it is likely that the patient was admitted to ward with the problem in the first place but it took a few days to figure that out.

Please see diagnostic coding index for Significant Acquireds diagnosis list.

Maximum Number of Acquired Diagnoses

The PDA and the CCMDB.mdb can record any number of Acquired Diagnoses / Complications. However, only the nine (9) with the highest priority will be appended to Ed's program.

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.

Discussion

  • was the significant acquireds list ever generated? If so, do we have any filter for it in Access or on the PDA? Ttenbergen 00:21, 28 May 2008 (CDT)
