We are a Family Pract. office. Our system is Centricity 9.5 Oracle. Our providers are complaining that when they add a new problem and a new med through the CPOE, they do not populate the text page correctly. Several of our providers use very specific icd.9 codes which are not on the Family Practice list of icd.9 codes. Two are D.O.'s and one does sports medicine.
We have the CCC Text File Editor list for Family Practice. We understand that if the ICD.9 is not on that list already associated with the med class, it will not connect.
Is it worth it to try and ADD additional DX with associated med classes?
How much effort is involved and will it be worth the time involved?
Is there a limit to the number of diagnosis's that can be added to the list?
Anybody thought about ICD.10?
Thanks
