Viewing or Adding Synonyms in the Problem List

The View/Add Synonym function enables you to supplement the default system synonyms with a user-defined list of terms that display when you search for a problem. The View/Add Synonym function is available in both the Problem List tab and the Billing ICD List tab.

In the Problem List, synonyms are added to the list of terms that display for the SNOMED® Concept when the Fully Specified Name is entered in the search field. In the Billing ICD List, synonyms are added to the list of terms that display when an ICD Code is entered in the search field.

Adding synonyms to the SNOMED® Concept and the Billing ICD List simplifies searching for terms and helps to ensure a standard list of customized search results when variations of a term are entered in the search field.
