Accessing this Page

Click the Diagnoses button on the Demographics page. Note that if your facility is using a custom template for the Demographics page, then the Diagnosis History button must be included on that template for you to access this page.

Viewing the Diagnosis List

The Patient Diagnosis History page contains a list of up to ten diagnoses related to the patient. If the list is longer than one page, use the Page links, located below the list of diagnoses, to navigate through the list.
Each diagnosis is listed with the Diagnosis code, the Date the diagnosis was last used for the patient (if available), and the Description of the diagnosis. Note that Copia will not always reflect the date that the code was last used if the code is removed from the patient's list, then later readded.
To narrow the list of displayed diagnoses, or to find a specific diagnosis, use the Search option. Click the Show all option to return to the full list of diagnoses. See "Searching for Diagnoses" below.
To modify this list, you may add or delete diagnoses (see below).
Once you have finished viewing, adding, or deleting diagnoses, click Save to record your changes and return to the Demographics page, or click Cancel to return to the Demographics page without saving your changes.

Searching for Diagnoses

Select the Search option to search the list of diagnoses associated with the patient. Enter one or more characters of the diagnosis code or description in the Search field and click the Search button to view a list of all diagnoses that match your search.
If your search generates one or more matches, then the matching diagnoses are displayed when the page refreshes.
If no search results are found or if the desired diagnosis is not found, search again, or click the Add button to add a diagnosis. See "Adding Diagnoses to the List" below.
