Procedure, diagnosis, and DRG codes can change over time. To maintain codes in OnBase, do either of the following:
-
Import the revised codes using OnBase Configuration.
-
Allow the HL7 Medical Records Chart message action to maintain codes using data from HL7 messages.
Both methods can add new codes to the database. If a code already exists in the database, but the description has changed, then the code is added again with the new description. Charts associated with the original description will continue to display the original description. The new description will be used for new charts on a day-forward basis.
