Open Diagnoses in the Nursing Center and record each client's conditions in one list. Medications, treatments, a Physician's Order, and Scrub Claims can all use the same record.
Diagnoses keeps each client's medical conditions in one list in the Nursing Center, making them easy for medications, treatments, and a Physician's Order to use.
Open Diagnoses from the Nursing Center. The Diagnoses List shows clients on the left and the diagnoses for the highlighted client on the right.
A diagnosis is one condition for one client. It holds the description, an optional ICD-10 Code, an optional onset date, notes, and an Inactive tick.
Medications, treatments, and a Physician's Order can point at it.
Open the Nursing Center and click Diagnoses. The Diagnoses List opens with clients on the left and that client's diagnoses on the right.
Highlight the client you want. The right side shows only that client's diagnoses, so you are always looking at one person at a time. Set View to All Clients when you need someone who is no longer attending.
You can also open the Diagnosis window from a medication, a treatment, or a Physician's Order when a diagnosis has to be created on the spot.
Click Add New to open the Diagnosis window for the highlighted client. Click Edit, or double-click a row, to open an existing diagnosis.
Type the Diagnosis. That field is required. Add an ICD-10 Code, an onset date, and notes when you have them. Those fields are optional.
Tick Inactive when a diagnosis is no longer current but must be kept on the record.
On a new record, the client is already set to the one you highlighted. After the first successful save, that client cannot be changed.
Click Save & Close to write the diagnosis and close the window.
Until you click Save & Close, the diagnosis has not been stored in ElderSuite.
If you click Delete, ElderSuite will ask for confirmation before removing the diagnosis. If the diagnosis is used elsewhere, the deletion is refused. The Delete Prevented message tells you to consider making the item Inactive. Tick Inactive and click Save & Close.
ICD-10 Code is optional. ElderSuite does not check the code against a code list.
Whatever is typed is stored.
A saved diagnosis cannot be moved to another client.
A diagnosis that is used elsewhere cannot be deleted.
Mark it Inactive instead.
If Save & Close appears to do nothing, the client or the Diagnosis field is incomplete. ElderSuite does not show a message, and the window stays open.
Fill in both and click Save & Close again. The diagnosis is not written until the save succeeds.
