Update Existing Cardiac Problems

During a medical evaluation, if the details of a patient's documented cardiac problem need to be changed, you can modify the problem with the latest details in Problem List on the Histories - Cardiology template. When you modify a cardiac problem, if the SNOMED® code is changed, the existing problem record is updated as follows. In Cardiac Problem List, the problem record has been overwritten with new details. In Problem List, the old record is retained and a new problem record has been added. For example, if you modify a patient's Chest Pain Syndrome to ACS, there are two records; one for Chest Pain Syndrome and the other for ACS. Note: If you choose not to retain the old record in Problem List, you can either delete it from the Problems module or change the status of the old problem to resolved. For more information about deleting a problem, go to NextGen Healthcare Success Community, and download the latest Problems Module User Guide for NextGen® Enterprise EHR. Open NextGen® Enterp
