Inappropriately Coded Problems (HP019)

Inappropriately Coded Problems (HP019)

Purpose:
This protocol will:
  1. ensure that teams within your practice don't make their problem lists untidy by flagging codes that are inappropriate to use as a problem title. This will ensure consistency of coding of problems by making sure that certain codes are not recorded as problems.

What does it actually do?

The protocol performs the following functions:
  1. On any code being entered into the record, it validates if this is ok to be added as a problem
  2. If it isn't the user is alerted to consider their decision

What does it look like?








System Dependencies:

This protocol is dependent on accurate coded information within EMIS web, contemporaneously recording information

System Trigger

System Trigger: Update a record
Run mode: Always run 
Enable trigger for: All staff

Fitting your practice

This may be a useful practice to discuss at a practice meeting to raise awareness and agree a list of codes that it is agreed will not be used. It is sensible to add any codes that you come across over time so that the list continues to expand.

How to get it

This protocol is an optional handy protocol so needs to be requested to be installed in your system.  If you want us to install this in your site please submit a ticket to request this.
