To begin the Client EHR an initial assessment is made and diagnostic codes are added to the assessment. You also have the ability to classify codes as Primary, Secondary, Tertiary and Quaternary. Diagnosis codes and their classifications will appear on initial assessments and progress notes. The Diagnostic Impressions include diagnosis codes which are used for the client record and are linked to Progress Notes and Billing.
IMPORTANT: The Initial Assessment and Diagnosis Codes should be completed followed by Treatment Plans prior to the creation of Case or Progress Notes.
