Add a New Reference System

The reference system is a way to organize the diagnosis groups (a logical grouping of related diagnosis codes). For example, Order Sets is a reference system that contains the groups that are used on custom impression plan. That template is coded to look at the Common Dx Framework reference system Order Sets (custom impression plan) to pull the groups and codes. Enter a reference system name in the Reference System field. If required, enter a description for the new system in the Description field. Select a Reference system set from the picklist (for orders sets only). Select the Restrict Code check box for code restrictions. Note: This allows only one associated code for this category, only if the category is of Protocols, Office Diagnostics, or PT Exercise templates. Click the Add/Update button to save the new reference system. The reference system is added to the Reference System grid. Parent topic: Managing Reference Systems

Configuring Systems, Diagnosis Groups, and Codes

The Dx Groups Reference Systems practice template supports ICD-9 and 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 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 instru
