Overview

The ICD9, ICD10, SNOMED and RxNorm standardized data sets can be easily imported (and upgraded) into OpenEMR. See below for specific instructions. (Note this feature is available in OpenEMR version 4.1.1 and higher.)

Import/Upgrade and activate ICD9

  • Go to Administration->Other->'External Data Loads'
  • Click ICD9
  • Follow the instructions (click the '?' for detailed instructions)
  • If you get the following sql error after you click INSTALL ("Error: The used command is not allowed with this MySQL version"), then you can instead upload the code set by downloading this file and importing at Administration->Database->Import. (Warning: Only do this if you get an error using the standard import mechanism.)
  • ICD9 diagnosis (and service) codes can be activated at Administration->Lists->Code Types
  • Toggle on Active in row where Key is ICD9
  • Set External to 'ICD9 Diagnosis' in row where Key is ICD9
  • Codes can be customized at Administration->Services

Import/Upgrade and activate ICD10

  • Go to Administration->Other->'External Data Loads'
  • Click ICD10
  • Follow the instructions (click the '?' for detailed instructions)
  • If you get the following sql error after you click INSTALL ("Error: The used command is not allowed with this MySQL version"), then you can instead upload the code set by downloading this file and importing at Administration->Database->Import. (Warning: Only do this if you get an error using the standard import mechanism.)
  • ICD10 diagnosis (and service) codes can be activated at Administration->Lists->Code Types
  • Toggle on Active in row where Key is ICD10 (if want to actively use ICD10 codes)

  • Codes can be customized at Administration->Services
  • Note that in the future version of OpenEMR 4.1.2, you can also install the SNOMED US Extension Pack after you install the SNOMED International Pack. You first install the International pack, then remove it from the contrib/snomed directory. Then you place the US extension pack in the contrib/snomed directory and install it.
