Diagnostic Codes Development
From OpenEMR Project Wiki
Revision as of 22:36, 21 October 2011 by Bradymiller (talk | contribs)
OpenEMR currently supports ICD9 diagnostic codes by default (although the codes need to be imported via phpmyadmin). It is also important to support ICD10 and SNOMED as an option; this wiki page will track the development of this. This was started after active discussion in the icd10 sourceforge forum thread.
ICD9
- Already well integrated and working on a default OpenEMR installation(although the codes need to be imported via phpmyadmin).
- For ease of use, could consider mechanism that has these codes installed by default, but that needs to be turned "on" to use.
ICD10
- Appears that some users have got this working.
- For standardization, propose following:
- Create an entry in code_types table(with id of 100+). See Code Types wiki page for details.
- Support this in the codebase
SNOMED
- Can currently import the SNOMED datasets into the OpenEMR databasae, however it is currently not integrated with the OpenEMR codebase.
- For standardization, propose following:
- Create an entry in code_types table(with id of 100+). See Code Types wiki page for details.
- Support this in the codebase
