TriMed’s 'Patient Problems' feature transforms how practices track, organize, and manage patient diagnoses. Designed for efficiency, this enhancement automatically groups similar diagnoses, keeps chronic and recurring issues visible, and removes the need for manual list maintenance.

With this release, the Diagnosis History chart header and the Patient Problem List now work together seamlessly, allowing users to view related ICDs grouped under a single patient problem name.

Smarter Grouping

The Diagnosis History header now automatically groups related ICD codes under shared Patient Problems (e.g., all H66 Otitis Media codes display together as “Otitis Media”). This simplifies the chart view and makes recurring issues easier to identify.

Automated Rules

Create rules to auto-add diagnoses to the Patient Problem List after multiple occurrences and auto-expire resolved issues after a chosen timeframe. This feature keeps the list clean and up to date.

In the example below, Otitis Media is automatically added to the patient’s Problem List after the diagnosis appears three times within one year, and it will be marked as Chronic Resolved if no new diagnoses occur within two years.

Consistent Insights

TriMed now checks Patient Problem rules whenever a diagnosis is added and automatically updates the Problem List when notes are signed. Persistent or recurring issues are surfaced to keep clinicians informed.
