The Collaborative Health Record (CHR) has provincial lists of ICD-9 diagnosis codes. TELUS Health manages these lists for you and any updates to these lists are automatically added by our team.
You can select a default list that is used for your entire clinic. Most of the list descriptions are maintained by the government agency (the lists starting with ICD-9). TELUS Health also provides a more modern list for Alberta, British Columbia, and Ontario. The diagnosis codes are the same as the government lists, but the descriptions and terminology are updated to match today's standards, making them easier to find.
Selecting a default diagnosis list
Steps
From the main menu, click Settings > Templates.
Click the Encounter tab.
Under Default Diagnosis Template, click the Choose One field and select the diagnosis list you want to use for the entire clinic.
Marking diagnosis codes as favourites
If you have frequent diagnosis codes you like to use for billing, you can mark them as favourites.
Steps
From the open claim window, search for a code you want to add to your favourite list.
Click the star icon next to the code; it turns yellow.
The code is marked as a favourite and will be at the top whenever you search.
💡 Tip: The diagnostic codes that you add in your encounter note can be automatically added to any bills you create within that encounter. Refer to Syncing diagnosis codes.
