Diagnosis Search

The Diagnosis Search tool assists you in the transition to the ICD10 diagnostic standard. In the Diagnosis Search dialog you are able to perform an ICD10 Search, an ICD9 Search, use the Crosswalk functionality (which allows you enter an ICD9 code and then the system will return the applicable ICD10 code(s) that match that initial ICD9 code), or use the SNOMED functionality (which allows you to search by a SNOMED description or code to match to applicable ICD10 codes). Use the following steps to perform a Diagnosis Search.

1. Click Edit > System Tables > Diagnosis Search
    

2. In the Diagnosis Search dialog you can perform an ICD10 Search, an ICD9 Search, use the Crosswalk functionality, or use the SNOMED functionality.
   
   When using the ICD10 Search, Crosswalk, or SNOMED option, an ICD10 Code Set field will be available allowing you to select the Oct 1, 2014 – Sept 30, 2016 code set, the Oct 1, 2016 – Sept 30, 2017 code set, the Oct 1, 2017 – Sept 30, 2018 code set, or All ICD10 Codes. This allows you to easily search for the applicable ICD10 codes that are active, as outlined by the CDC, for the applicable date ranges. When accessing the Diagnosis Search dialog via the Administration menu, the system will default to the code set based on the current day’s date.
   
   When performing an ICD10 Search or using the Crosswalk option, the dialog will also contain a tree view (middle column) of the selected diagnosis, as well as a detail pane (right column) that further details the diagnosis.
   
   When using the SNOMED option, the dialog will also contain Rules and Advice (middle column), and a tree view (right column) of the selected diagnosis.
   
   Once the applicable diagnosis is located, click the OK button to exit the Diagnosis Search dialog.
   
   
   
    

3. To perform an ICD10 Search, be sure that the ICD10 Search option is selected above, and then be sure that the correct ICD10 Code Set is selected. Next, you can then select the applicable Search Column and Search Type, and then begin typing the diagnosis you want to locate in the search field. The system will return diagnoses that match that description for the Search Column and Search Type selected.
   
   Once the applicable code has been located, highlight that code in the left column, and the applicable code will become highlighted in the diagnostic tree in the middle column, and the right column will display detailed information regarding the selected diagnosis.
   
   NOTE: You also have the ability to search for specific codes via the diagnosis tree in the middle column. Likewise, when performing an ICD10 Search, you are able to hide the left and right columns as needed by clicking the and buttons.  
   
   
   
    

4. To perform an ICD9 Search, be sure that the ICD9 Search option is selected above, then select the applicable Search Column and Search Type, and then begin typing the diagnosis you want to locate in the search field. The system will return diagnoses that match that description for the Search Column and Search Type selected.
   
   
   
    

5. To use the Crosswalk option, be sure that the Crosswalk option is selected above, and then be sure that the correct ICD10 Code Set is selected. Next, you can then enter the specific ICD9 Code you would like to match to an applicable ICD10 code. The system will return ICD10 codes that match that ICD9 code.
   
   NOTE: If you highlight an ICD9 Code in the ICD9 Search area, and then click the Crosswalk option, that ICD9 will default into the search field and the system will return the ICD10 code(s) that match the selected ICD9 code.
   
   Once the applicable code has been located, highlight that code in the left column, and the applicable code will become highlighted in the diagnostic tree in the middle column, and the right column will display detailed information regarding the selected diagnosis.
   
   NOTE: Similar to the ICD10 Search, you also have the ability use the diagnosis tree in the middle column to locate specific diagnosis codes. Likewise, when using the Crosswalk, you are able to hide the left and right columns as needed by clicking the and buttons.  
   
   
   
    

6. To use the SNOMED option, be sure that the SNOMED option is selected above, and then be sure that the correct ICD10 Code Set is selected. Next, you can then select the applicable Search Column and Search Type, and then begin typing SNOMED description or code in the Description field. The system will return conditions that match that description for the Search Column and Search Type selected.
   
   Once the applicable code has been located, highlight that code in the left column, and the middle column will contain matching ICD10 codes. There are three possibilities for matching the SNOMED code to ICD-10 codes in the middle column: a one to one match, a one to many match, and no matches.
   
   The right pane will display the ICD-10 code tree, and if an ICD-10 code is selected in the middle column, that diagnosis code will be selected in the tree.
   
   NOTE: You also have the ability to search for specific codes via the diagnosis tree in the right column. Likewise, when performing a SNOMED Search, you are able to hide the left and right columns as needed by clicking the and buttons.
