Acquired Diagnoses are the most significant problems, complication & surgical and diagnostic procedures that occur after unit admission. Acquired Diagnoses used to be referred to as "complications" in the context of this database.

Data Structure

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 discovered after the patient comes to the unit 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 TMSX.

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

  • I seem to remember these are in order of occurrence... don't see it anywhere. If true, that needs to be added. Ttenbergen 00:21, 28 May 2008 (CDT)
  • we changed the name to only one of acquired or complication. Which is it? We need to change references in this article accordingly. Ttenbergen 00:29, 28 May 2008 (CDT)
  • End of first paragraph says: "Please see diagnostic coding index for Significant Acquireds diagnosis list." There is no such article on the wiki yet.Ttenbergen 14:47, 29 July 2008 (CDT)
  • The paper guide said: "We are currently working on a list of specific complication and problems that we prefer to track on wards. " Did that ever get anywhere? Ttenbergen 09:03, 27 May 2008 (CDT)
