Select the Diagnosis. The Dx Date defaults to the treatment date, but you can change this if necessary.
The first diagnosis you enter is considered the primary diagnosis, and the Diagnosis No field will have the number 1. Each subsequent diagnosis you enter is automatically numbered sequentially. If you later change the number of a diagnosis, all other entries will be renumbered accordingly.
In the Source field, select the person or health professional who provided the diagnosis (e.g. external physician, internal physician, patient).
If the diagnosis is no longer in effect, enter the End Date and End Diagnosis Reason so that you can maintain a history of diagnosis changes. eRx interaction checking will no longer factor in this diagnosis.
