Prior to the recent upgrades, in the problem list were the terms for HXof or FHof in addition to the DXof qualifier. Thus, when I queried or wrote a Crystal Report, I would always include the qualifier to only get the patients with the diagnosis.

Now, that concept is gone. So while I could continue using the DXof, I will not grab any diagnoses added after our upgrade. And, because we have thousands of patients we have not yet reviewed every patient chart to remove all the qualified problem, I am stuck.

So, does anyone have a work-around to handle this? The only thing I can think of is a toggle where pre-existing problems (to upgrade) based on the DB_CREATE_DATE use the DXof requirement while anything recent does not need the DXof.

Thanks.

Hi Joe,

In our system (so I assume across the board) these old problem qualifiers were pushed to the comments when a patient's problem list was updated in any fashion since the update to 9.8. Any patient that has not been viewed should still have the qualifier present. I haven't built a report to dig that deep yet but I imagine something like:

not(
problem.annotate like "*Hx of*", "*FH of*" //I do forget exactly how these translate from qualifiers to comments - it has been a while since we upgraded and noticed this//
or
problem.qualifier in "Hx of" etc
or
problem.description like "*Hx*", "*Family*", "*History*" //to capture those clever ones that updated the description of the problems when they noticed the qualifiers were gone//
)

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Mike
