Diagnosis

The Diagnosis tab stores information related to a client's individual diagnosis, and the client may have more than one open diagnosis at any given time. The cards are grouped by active diagnoses, the cards with the blue header at the top; while inactive diagnoses are the cards with the grey header grouped below Inactive Client Diagnoses section. Within these groupings, the cards are ordered by Type, Primary then Secondary, etc., and then by descending date order, most recent first. Summary information is displayed on each diagnosis card which includes:

  • Type (Primary, Secondary, etc.)

  • Start Date

  • End Date if inactive

  • Diagnosis code and description

  • Program or Defined Filter

    • The field available is based on the Diagnosis Matching on Service Entry section of Configuration > Setup > Diagnosis

    • And the available field must be populated on the Add/Edit Diagnosis screen
