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:

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.
