Diagnoses - Admitting Flag

 

 

When flagged, a Y will pull to the Admitting column for that diagnosis. The Admitting Diagnosis will also be added to the Admitting Diagnosis screen. Only one Admitting Diagnosis may be identified. If a diagnosis has been marked as the Admitting Diagnosis and the Admitting Flag option is selected, TruBridge EHR will remove the Y from the Admitting column indicating that the diagnosis is no longer the admitting diagnosis.

The Admitting Diagnosis screen will display. The admitting diagnosis may be added or edited from this screen using the same options that are available when adding a New Diagnosis and Editing an existing diagnosis.

Diagnoses - Admitting Diagnosis Screen

 

 

NOTE: Only one diagnosis may be listed as the admitting diagnosis; therefore, the option to add a New Diagnosis will not be accessible when an admitting diagnosis is already identified.

 

NOTE: Facilities participating in the Electronic Case Reporting objective for Meaningful Use 3 may have a Case Report sent to a Public Health Agency when an Admitting Diagnosis entered here matches a diagnosis in the Trigger Code Table. Additional setup is required for this functionality. For more information please contact a TruBridge Support Representative.
