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, your Diagnosis History chart header and Patient Problem List now work together seamlessly — letting you view related ICDs grouped under one 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 easy to identify.

Automated Rules

Create rules to auto-add diagnoses to the Patient Problem List after they occur multiple times, and auto-expire resolved issues after a chosen timeframe — keeping the list clean and relevant.

In this example, 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 each time a diagnosis is added and updates the Problem List automatically when notes are signed. Persistent or recurring issues are surfaced so clinicians stay informed.
