Problem List Settings

The Problem List Settings screen gives an administrator the ability to define stock categories on the Problem List for all users in the department. Stock categories organize subsets of diagnoses codes into logical categories that make it easier for users in the department add a diagnosis. Like the categories for charges, stock problem list categories also rely on a hierarchical method for selecting the categories and organizing the diagnosis codes within those categories. When you select Problem List from the Edit Settings menu, the Problem List Settings screen appears for the selected department.

The following parameter is available:

• Stock H-Pickers : This setting displays a list of stock problem list categories available to all current users in the department. An H-Picker is a hierarchical method for selecting problem list categories and diagnoses codes. Organizing subsets of codes into categories that are useful to users in the department makes it easier for those users to enter a new Quick Problem on their handheld device. For example, a user in the Medical Cardiology department may find a category for blood and blood forming diagnoses that they frequently encounter to be useful.
  If some stock problem list categories are not useful, the user can choose to hide them using the Problem List Settings under the Prefs tab so that they do not appear on the handheld device. Click the Edit link to create a new stock category or to modify existing stock categories.
• To create a stock charge category, click on the Stock H-Pickers name and select Add Child Category from the list of links that appears. Enter a category name and click Save . To add one or more charge codes to a category, click on its name and choose Manage Codes from the list of links that appears. Check all codes you wish to add and click Save in the Quick Details box. To remove a category, click on its name and choose Delete Category from the list of links that appears. To change the name of a charge category, click on its name and choose Edit Label from the list that appears.
• To modify an existing stock charge category, click on its name and select the appropriate action from the list of links that appears. Possible choices are: Add Child Category , which lets you add another subcategory; Manage Codes , which lets you change the charge codes for the category; Edit Label , which lets you change the name of the category; Delete Category , which lets you remove the category and all subcategories and codes it contains; and Sort Child Categories , which lets you reorder the subcategories or charge codes for the selected category.
