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.
