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