Configuring Systems, Diagnosis Groups, Problem Groups, and Codes

The Dx Problem Groups Reference Systems practice template supports ICD-10 codes for default diagnosis codes in the NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine framework.

It consolidates diagnosis code functionality to one location and provides consistency in the way templates access diagnosis codes. This requires retiring and modifying templates, the removal of all hard-coded ICD-9 codes from the existing templates and moving the functionality to the practice template. For example, as part of updating Common Assessments for the ICD-10 conversion project, the diagnosis types within the Pediatric framework have been migrated into the Dx Problem Groups Reference Systems practice template.

It provides you with a quick and easy access to configure their systems, and makes annual code updates easier. The actual codes are in File Maintenance. The new functionality considers the code effective and sets up the expiration dates and deleted code indicator in the Master File.

This document provides you with instructions on how to configure and manage the reference system, diagnosis groups, and codes which also includes the order sets using the Dx Problem Groups Reference Systems practice template.

This template pulls in functionality from other system/practice templates into a central location for managing reference systems, diagnosis groups, codes, problem groups, and order sets.

Diagnosis groups are based on triggers for order sets, care guidelines, and so on, as used by NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine.

Diagnosis categories are set up in File Maintenance to be used in the NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine applications such as the diagnosis search window.
