Validating conditions and diagnoses invalidated previously

In Chart, you can validate a condition or diagnosis that was invalidated previously.

Note: Editing a condition or diagnosis to validate it requires the "Conditions/Diagnosis, Edit" security right.

To validate a condition or diagnosis

With a patient selected in Chart, on the Progress Notes panel, double-click a condition or diagnosis.

Notes:

An asterisk (*) appears at the beginning of the description of an invalidated condition or diagnosis.

If the condition or diagnosis that you want to validate has been posted but is not listed on the Progress Notes panel, verify that the correct status view option has been selected for the progress notes.

If applicable, do one of the following:

If the Password - Conditions/Diagnosis, Edit dialog box appears, user verification has been assigned to the "Conditions/Diagnosis, Edit" task. Do one of the following:

If your user account has been granted the "Conditions/Diagnosis, Edit" security right, enter your credentials in the User ID and Password boxes, and then click OK.

If your user account has not been granted the "Conditions/Diagnosis, Edit" security right, have a user with permission temporarily override this restriction so you can edit a condition or diagnosis this one time. The overriding user enters his or her credentials in the User ID and Password boxes and then clicks OK.

If a message appears, informing you that you do not have rights to this operation, your user account has not been granted the "Conditions/Diagnosis, Edit" security right. To have a user with permission temporarily override this restriction so you can edit a condition or diagnosis this one time, do the following:

On the message, click Yes.

In the Password - Conditions/Diagnosis, Edit dialog box, the overriding user enters his or her credentials in the User ID and Password boxes and then clicks OK.

The Change Condition dialog box appears.

Under Change Condition Options, select the Validate Condition option.

In the Notes box, enter a note that explains why the condition or diagnosis is being validated. To check the spelling of the note text, click the Check Spelling button (this button is available only if a certain preference setting has been enabled).

Click OK.
