7.7.0 Condition/Diagnosis/Problem

QDM defines Condition/Diagnosis/Problem as a practitioner’s identification of a patient’s disease, illness, injury, or condition. This category contains a single datatype to represent all of these concepts: Diagnosis. A practitioner determines the diagnosis by means of examination, diagnostic test results, patient history, and/or family history. Diagnoses are usually considered unfavorable, but they may also represent neutral or favorable conditions that affect a patient’s plan of care (e.g., pregnancy).
