You can update any active problem on the patient's list. This article covers opening a problem, changing its details, and reordering the list.
Open a problem for editing
On the Active tab, you can open the Edit Problem window in two ways:
- Click anywhere on the problem card.
- Click the pencil icon on the card.
What you can change
The Edit Problem window has the same fields as when adding — Description, ICD, SNOMED, Status, Type, Onset, Resolution, Verify, Chronic, and Note. See Add a Problem for a full description of each field.
When editing, two extra details are available:
- Resolution date — set when the problem was resolved.
- Last Modified — shows the date and time the problem was last changed.
The window also lists the problem's existing notes, so you can review, edit, or copy a previous note forward. See Problem Notes.
Save your changes
Click Save to keep your changes, or Cancel to close without saving. A confirmation message appears when the problem is saved.
Reorder the problem list
To change the order in which problems appear on the Active tab:
- Click Reorder (above the list, to the right).
- Drag each problem by its handle into the order you want. Notes are hidden while you reorder to keep the cards compact.
- Click Done to save the new order.
