Changing Problems

1.   If you haven't already, go to the Problems module.

2.   Click the problem you want to change to display all fields currently entered.

Note: Entries preceded by "FH" indicate entries from the family history list, and behave differently than standard problem list entries. See Working with Family History for details.

3.   Change fields as desired. Fields include Type, Severity, Conditions, Location, Onset Date, and Resolution Date. Modify the Comments field, if necessary, by typing over text (or by using custom paragraphs).

Note: For MGH users only, the icon  displays next to the problem name if a patient educational video is available for that problem. Click the icon to order the video for the patient.

4.   Click Ok.

5.   If you want to save your work now, click Sign (F10). The LMR indicates the changes that will be saved. Type your key and click Sign.

6.   Depending on your set up, you may be prompted to select a cosigner, sign for a provider, or both. See Selecting a Cosigner and Signing and Saving for a Provider.
