Modifying medical problems in your clinic problem list

If a problem’s description (name) or diagnostic code is inappropriate or missing, any user with administrator authority in Wolf EMR can modify the problem for you. In modifying problems to have descriptions or notes that contain the search terms you use to find them, it becomes much easier to search for problems. Because the problem list is clinic-wide, when you modify a problem, make sure other clinic users are aware of, and agree with the change.

Steps

1. On the Wolf EMR launch page, click Configuration .
2. In the Configuration menu, click View > Patient Reference Tables > Problem Index. The Problem Maintenance window opens.
3. Search for the problem:
a) In the Search Criteria area, enter part or all of the problem diagnostic Code or Description.
b) Click Search. The EMR displays a list of matching problems.

c) To select a problem, click the problem’s Internal ID number. The <problem name> - Problem window opens.
4. Modify the problem’s details as needed. See step 4 to step 6 in Adding medical problems to your clinic problem list.
