Use the following steps to rename entries on a patient's list of problems. Renaming problems can be necessary to reflect an evolving diagnosis (for example, from "headaches" to "migraines"). It can also be used to correct uncoded entries in the LMR database.
1. If you haven't already, go to the Problems module.
2. Click the problem you want to rename from the displayed list.
3. Click Refine Problem. The LMR displays a new screen.
4. Type the new name and click Lookup to display coded names for that entry.
5. Find the coded name that best matches the new name, and select that problem.
6. Change other fields as desired. Fields include Type, Severity, Conditions, Location, Onset Date, and Resolution Date. Modify the Comments field, if necessary, by typing over text.
7. Click Ok.
8. 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.
9. Depending on your set up, you may be prompted to select a cosigner or sign for a provider. See Selecting a Cosigner and Signing and Saving for a Provider.
