Medical Diagnosis Overview

Medical Diagnosis is a Care Services module that allows diagnoses to be entered into the resident record using the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) library.

ICD codes are developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) to classify diseases in a globally consistent manner. The codes are identified by a number/character and a written description.

When medical diagnoses are entered in a resident's record, the ICD codes flow to the following areas:

  • Medication and Treatment Administration Records (MARs/TARs)

  • Move In/Transfer Records

  • Forms

  • Service Plans

  • Minimum Data Set (MDS)
