Why do Problems automaticallydefault to Chronic or Acute?
For the most part, all problems are delivered defaulting to Chronic. This is because different problems are chronic or acute to different specialties, what may be a chronic problem to Internal Medicine, might be Acute to Orthopedics. I say for the most part, because the only problems that come with the default of acute are problems with the word 'acute' in them. Pretty much everything else will be delivered with the default of Chronic.
TW Admin approach
You can change this default, either for the user favorites or for the master favorites. To do this via TWAdmin follow these instructions.
- Phys Admin Tool
- Patient History Favorites
- Choose either Master or Personal Favorites
- Find the problem you would like to set the default for
- Click 'Type' (Problem Type Box appears)
- Set the desired default
- Hit OK
SSMT approach
The extract "Favorites: Patient Hx - Active Problems" can be loaded for an individual user (column A) OR specialty (column D). In column H, ProblemType can be defaulted. Values are restricted to:
- Acute
- Chronic
- Health Maintenance Concept
- <blank>
