comment
Be very careful how you use this function. For example, you could create a LISTSUBSET function to display problems from the problem list that start with Diab, intending to display all of the patient’s problems that are related to diabetes. However, some diabetes-related problems may not show up, such as peripheral neuropathy.
example 1
{LISTSUBSET(PROB_PRIOR("list"),"list","diab", "contains", "any")
returns
DIABETES MELLITUS W/PERIPH CIRCULAT DISORDERS
(ICD-250.7)
POLYNEUROPATHY IN DIABETES (ICD-357.2)_
This example, from the Childhood Immunizations form included in the Pediatrics clinical content, makes use of the fact that observation terms for immunizations have a "#" character in them.
example 2
{LISTSUBSET(OBS_LIST_CHANGES(), "list", "#",
"contains", "any")}
