In EHR...Not sure what the problem you refer to is.<br /><br />In EHR work I did a decade ago, the Dx table was in a one to many relationship with a table containing info on how the Dx was made (i.e., any number of "how made" descriptors could be added to each diagnosis). For instance, a Dx of "atrial fibrillation" might have been made by "EKG", "physical exam" and "auscultation."<br /><br />(In the case you cite, the diagnosis was "made" by a mission hostile user interface that forced a user to enter it to get actual work done.)<br /><br />S.
