Patient Problems is a new Admin page added to Decision Support. The Patient Problems page allows the creation of rules that will auto-add items to the Problems List, saving users time from adding them manually. It will also enable problems to be grouped with similar ICDs. Users can set rules for problems to expire off the list after a set period of time. This time-saving feature notifies providers in advance about recurring issues experienced by patients. 

Example: Pediatric patients with 3 or more ear infections within 6 months are considered to have recurrent otitis media and oftentimes providers will add the diagnosis to the patient's problem list. With this feature the system can automatically update the problem list with the associated diagnosis.
