1.) When reading through document, if you come across phrase(s) similar to the examples below:
……Diagnosis: Fxx.x diagnosis name……(this could be with or without the colon, or could even have several colons and/or other punctuation marks before they diagnosis name, following each
……Diagnosis Fxx.x diagnosis name……
……Diagnosis: diagnosis name……
……Diagnosis: Fxx.x……
Highlight this as ‘Diagnosis’ – please label the annotation just as I have specified it (i.e. with a CAPITAL D).
2.) The following features have been added under the Diagnosis annotation:
ICD10: if there is a name of a diagnosis, but no ICD10 code, find the ICD10 code and fill in under the feature ICD10
Diagname: if there is a diagnosis name then please copy this in the annotation feature. Please copy the exact diagnosis name even if it varies from the official ICD10 name.
Diffdiag – add this only if there is a differential diagnosis. This kind of diagnosis is often mentioned because usually most documents are trying to find out what the diagnosis is and in the process give a possible diagnosis which is vague or will not be the correct one eventually.
