This file contains the diagnostic codes that can be associated with an exam. The code is attached to an exam at the same time the interpreting resident and/or staff physician is entered for the exam. The diagnostic code represents a quick overall summary of what the interpreting physician wrote in his/her report concerning the exam. [NOTE: Diagnostic code is not the impression. The impression is stored in the 'IMPRESSION' field of the 'RAD/NUC MED REPORTS' file (#74).] The following is the list of codes that are loaded when the module is initialized: 1) NORMAL 2) MINOR ABNORMALITY 3) MINOR ABNORMALITY, NO ATTN, NEEDED 4) ABNORMALITY, ATTN. NEEDED 5) MAJOR ABNORMALITY, PHYSICIAN AWARE 6) UNDICTATED FILMS NOT RETURNED, 3 DAYS 7) UNSATISFACTORY/INCOMPLETE EXAM 8) POSSIBLE MALIGNANCY, FOLLOW-UP NEEDED As part of the system customization process, these entries can be deleted. However, once the system is in production, you should 'not' delete any entries. Adding new entries is always allowed. If the site decides to enter diagnostic codes for exams, then database searches can be performed using the 'DIAGNOSTIC CODE' field of the exam record in the search criteria. For example, the database can be searched for all 'normal' chest procedures. Data Storage ------------ The data for the 'DIAGNOSTIC CODES' file is stored in the ^RA(78.3, global. At the present time this file is very static after day-one initialization is complete. However, it still should be journaled. It should also be translated if the operating system supports this function. Input Templates --------------- The package does not use any input templates associated with this file. Print Templates --------------- The following is a list of print templates used by the package: Name Description; Option(s) ---- ---------------------- DIAGNOSTIC CODE PRINT Prints a list of entries in this file; RA DIAGP Sort Templates -------------- The package does not use any sort templates associated with this file.

HELP-PROMPT: Enter a short diagnostic code, between 3 and 60 characters in length, to indicate the results of the image analysis.
DESCRIPTION: This field contains a short diagnostic code to indicate the results of the interpreting physician's analysis of the images. Diagnostic codes can be between 3 and 60 characters in length and can be used as a basis for
database searches. (ie. How many 'Normal' chest exams were performed during a specific time period?)
Eight diagnostic codes are included with the original package. Other site-specific diagnostic codes may be entered by the rad/nuc med coordinator at each site.
TECHNICAL DESCR: This field is made uneditable by patch RA*5*97.
Patch RA*5.0*97 adds BI-RADS codes to IEN 1100 thru 1106, and AAA codes to IEN 1200 thru 1202. Routine RABIRAD builds a string of BI-RADS IENs based upon the exact spelling of the first two words in this field, eg.
"BI-RADS CATEGORY".

HELP-PROMPT: Enter 'Y' for YES if this code should print on the Abnormal Exam Report.
DESCRIPTION: This field contains a 'Yes' or 'No' value to indicate if exams with this diagnostic code should be printed on the 'Abnormal Exam Report'. The report is used to ensure that the physician is notified of abnormal results of
an exam. This field must be set to 'Yes' before the diagnostic code is entered on the exam in order for that exam to appear on the 'Abnormal Exam Report'.
HELP-PROMPT: Answering 'YES' indicates that whenever this diagnostic code is entered for a report an abnormal alert should be sent to the attending/requesting physician.
DESCRIPTION:
If this code should generate an abnormal alert, enter 'y', yes at this prompt.
HELP-PROMPT: This field has been deprecated and should no longer be used.
DESCRIPTION: This field has been deprecated.
This field is associated with the .01 field used for BI-RADS codes under the MQSA coding system mandated by the FDA. Whenever the BI-RADS codes from field .01 is displayed, this field will be used to retrieve the current
FDA-mandated wording for .01 field values of "BI-RADS CATEGORY 0" through "BI-RADS CATEGORY 6", which are in record numbers 1100 through 1106. The retrieved value will be displayed next to the .01 field value. This field
is initially populated by patch RA*5.0*97. The Radiology application does not prompt the user for this field. Changes to data in this field will be made by future Radiology patches.
TECHNICAL DESCR: This field is being decommissioned by patch RA*5.0*206. It will replaced by a new DISPLAY TEXT field. This field will be deleted after 18 months.
This field was added and made uneditable by patch RA*5.0*97.
HELP-PROMPT: Enter the display text of the diagnostic code between 1 and 245 characters in length. Data for this field must be entered by a Radiology patch.
