Creating New Records
To add a new record to the database click the New button. The dialog below appears. Enter the exact code you want to use use for the new record. The value here is used to search for duplicates. Enter your description, too. If there is no matching code, a new record is created.



Finding Records

To cancel the find, click the red close button at the upper left corner of the dialog (or if available the Cancel button).

 
If only one diagnosis is found, you will be returned to the Entry screen. If more than one is found a list is created (see the example below). If none are found you can try again.
 
List View
To see a list of the current found diagnoses click List View tab. Below is an example of the found set of all diagnoses with the first three numbers "401". This list and screen allows you to do the following:

• Sort the list by Code or Description by clicking the underlined title at the top of that column.
• The New and Find buttons work the same
• Click Print to print the current list of diagnoses. 
• The Int column indicates the number of months typically between visits. It is the same field as Next Visit Interval for Diagnosis found on the main screen.
• Here the field Slip is associated with a Y and N button. If you want all the diagnoses in this list to appear on your properly formatted suuperbill in the  Forms Module than click Y.  You can also  check off one at a time, too!
• The same idea applies to the field Pick List . Each record can either be Y or N.  You can also quickly find all records flagged as being in your pick list by clicking the icon above the column.
• If a particular diagnosis is Not specific enough check the off field.
