Unfortunately your custom names for dx may go away whenever icd update occurs.
Steven, I have heard that this problem was eradicated. I don't think it has, but to be honest, I stopped editing because it wasn't worth the hassle if it disappears every quarter. When was the last time yours got erased?
I use Shortkeys for a lot of the other parts of my note so I codified my common diagnoses (top 50 or so) and just enter them as codes
I really like this idea. If they don't get erased, as above, then I think I will start doing this.
