It would be helpful to have a diagnosis rather than a complaint. The question is: what would you use as that label? Sometimes there is no clear diagnosis reached. As you point out, sometimes there is more than one diagnosis. Would you suggest that AC automatically pull your first ICD code for the visit and put the corresponding text there? Should there be a box so that we can choose and type in the "subject" of the visit?
Definitely shouldn't be a box. And, it shouldn't be the CC. This is a tough one. But, if one thought about it hard enough. This is the one part I don't have a great answer to other than listing all ICD-9 codes (names) with the first one being the priority. Hovering over the line would show all. But, that would still make it difficult to see all of the diagnoses.
