Overview
This flow describes how to change a symptom or a diagnosis that you already recorded. MANSOQ stores each of them as a condition. Use this flow when the patient improves, or when a provisional finding becomes confirmed.
Pre-requisites
- You or a colleague recorded the symptom or the diagnosis on the encounter.
- The encounter is the patient's active encounter.
- The encounter status is not Completed, Cancelled, Discontinued, or Entered in Error. In these states you can only read the record.
- You have the permissions listed below.
Permissions
| Permission | Access |
|---|---|
| Can view clinical data about patients | View the symptoms and the diagnoses of the patient |
| Can Read encounter related clinical data | View the symptoms and the diagnoses of the encounter |
| Update Encounter related clinical data | Change a recorded symptom or diagnosis |
Steps
1. Open the symptom screen or the diagnosis screen
Go to the Overview tab of the encounter.
For a symptom, select the edit (pencil) icon in the Symptoms section. You can also press the keyboard shortcut s.
For a diagnosis, select the edit (pencil) icon in the Diagnoses section. You can also press the keyboard shortcut d.
The records of the encounter show in a list. Each record shows in its own row.
2. Change the values
Change the values that you need. You can change these fields on a saved record:
| Component | What it captures |
|---|---|
| Status | Active, Recurrence, Relapse, Inactive, Remission, or Resolved. |
| Verification | Unconfirmed, Provisional, Differential, Confirmed, or Refuted. |
| Severity | Mild, Moderate, or Severe. |
| Note | Free text about the record. |
Note: The Verification value Entered in Error shows only if the record already has that value. To retract a record, see Mark a symptom or diagnosis as entered in error.
Note: For a diagnosis you can leave the Severity field empty. The field then shows "Choose severity".
To add a note, open the more-options (⋮) menu of the row. Select Add notes. Select Show notes to open the note text. Select Hide notes to close the note text.
3. Know the fields that you cannot change
You cannot change the Onset Date of a saved record. The field is unavailable after the first submission.
You cannot change the clinical term of a saved record. To correct a wrong term, mark the record as entered in error. Then record the correct term.
4. Submit the changes
Select Submit.
Expected Outcome
- MANSOQ shows the confirmation "Questionnaire submitted successfully".
- The updated values show in the Symptoms section or the Diagnoses section of the encounter Overview tab.
- The updated values show in the clinical history of the patient.
