Problem Codes

This article is part of the systems administration guide. You will require administration access to view the pages mentioned in this article.

Problem codes are utilised when adding Patient Problems in the Diagnosis & History Groups screen.


CareRight provides a Generic Problems codeset, which you may choose to utilise. Alternatively, other codesets such as ICPC2 can be utilised.

To preview the default Problem codeset, review the Problems generic table.


Enable a Problem Codeset

Under Administration > Patients > Problem Codes, there is the ability to specify all of the specific codes you wish to enable.

The simplest way to do so is to select as a wildcard entry for all available problems.


You may specify one of the following as a prefix followed by a ':' (colon)

  1. GEN (Disease Generic Code) - to load Problem Generic Code (maintained in Generic Codes) type "GEN:*" < This will load all Problem generic codes
  2. ICPC2 (ICPC-2) - to load all ICPC-2 codes type "ICPC2:*", for a subset same as above


If you wish to replace the entire set of codes in the system, select the Delete all existing codes before importing checkbox.
