Managing Custom Diagnoses
If the diagnosis you wish to select is not included in AAHA's diagnostic terms, you'll have the option to add a custom diagnosis for use in your practice. Custom diagnoses are managed under the "custom diagnoses" tab in the Patient Dashboard, but can be added anywhere a new diagnosis can be added by selecting the "Add New" option.
To add a custom diagnosis from the Patient Dashboard:
Click on "Patients" at the top of the page
Click on "custom diagnoses" and select the "new diagnosis" option
Complete the form that appears
Prior to a custom diagnosis being used, it can be deleted from the Patient Dashboard as follows:
Click on "custom diagnoses" and select the "view active diagnoses" option
Click on the gear icon for the diagnosis you wish to delete, and select the "delete diagnosis" option
Confirm your intent to delete the diagnoses
After a custom diagnosis has been used, it can no longer be deleted but it can be deactivated so that it will no longer be available for selecting when a new diagnosis is assigned to a patient. To deactivate a custom diagnosis:
Click on "custom diagnoses" and select the "view active diagnoses" option
Click on the gear icon for the diagnosis you wish to deactivate, and select the "deactivate diagnosis" option
Confirm your intent to deactivate the diagnoses
