Adding a diagnosis.
To add a diagnosis do the following :
- Go to the homepage and click a consultation from either the pending or ongoing tables, or open an admission from one of the admission ward tables.
- Click the More toolbar button. This moves the toolbar one level down to expose a different set of toolbar buttons.
- Click the Diagnosis toolbar button to open the Diagnosis page.
-
On the Diagnosis page, the first input you will encounter is for the diagnosis stage. Please choose one of the following :
- Primary
- Secondary
- Co-morbidity
- Complicated
-
On the Diagnosis page, the second input is the diagnosis code/description filter input. Type a code or a description to filter through the World Health Organisation's ICD-10 diagnoses.
N.B. The filter only starts to display a dropdown after the third character is typed into the filter input. i.e. In searching for Cholera as a diagnosis, the dropdown will only be displayed after you have typed the C, the H and the O. Before those initial 3 characters no dropdown list will be shown.
N.B. Each time you press a key on your keyboard, the diagnoses dropdown list is refined according to the search phrase entered in the code/description filter. Given the extensive number of diagnoses in the system, you may experience a slight delay in your computer’s response as it processes the filter.
-
Select a diagnosis from the dropdown by :
- Clicking "Enter" keyboard button to select the top-most diagnosis on the dropdown.
- Use the mouse to select any visible diagnosis from the dropdown.
-
Add footer button : Pressing this button adds the currently chosen diagnosis to the list and resets the page inputs, preparing them for the selection of an additional diagnosis. This button facilitates the selection of multiple diagnoses.
-
Next footer button : Once a minimum of one diagnosis has been chosen, the Next footer button will illuminate in green. To save the chosen diagnoses to the database, please click on the green Next footer button.
