Medical Diagnosis - Update or Resolve Existing Diagnosis

You can make certain updates to an existing diagnosis.

  1. Click the update link to the left of the diagnosis you want to update or resolve.

  2. If you are resolving a medical diagnosis, specify a date in the Resolved Date field either by typing or selecting the date in the MM/DD/YYYY format.

  • When updating a diagnosis, the Diagnosis Code, Description and Date can not be changed. If these were documented incorrectly and need to be changed, then the diagnosis needs to be struck out.

  • During implementation, diagnosis is automatically added to the medical diagnosis module with the MDS import. Diagnosis added during this import process are added without a Date. Someone must review these diagnosis as they do not populate onto future MDS assessments without a Date. The Date is editable until a date is added. After a date is added, this field is no longer editable.
