The Diagnosis Severities master file enables you to set up levels that indicate the severity of a patient's diagnosed condition. Diagnosis Severity is based on user-defined criteria. This master file should contain a comprehensive list of severities.
- From the Master Files - System list, select Diagnosis Severity.
The
Diagnosis Severities List window opens.
- Do one of the following:
- To add a new item, select open menu , and then select New.
- To modify an existing item, select the item in the list, select open menu , and then select Open. You can also double-click to open the item.
The
Add/Modify Diagnosis Severity Information window opens.
- Enter a full description of the diagnosis severity in the Description field.
Note: It is strongly recommended that you set up the first record for severity with a description like None or something similar. Having this "blank" record as the first record in the table enables users to not select a severity if they choose to do so.
- Enter any additional information for the severity in the Note field.
- If you want to hide the item in the list, select the Hide check box.
- Select Next to add another item or select OK to return to the Diagnosis Severities List window.
