Diagnosis Editing

Use

To identify diagnoses as diagnosis keys in the Occupational Health component.

A diagnosis key is made up of a diagnosis catalog, a diagnosis code, and a diagnosis key category.

Diagnosis Catalog

The Occupational Health component offers you the option of importing one or more diagnosis catalogs into the SAP system, such as the International Classification of Diseases publication ( ICD) . This means that you do not have to manually enter the diagnoses that your company uses.

The descriptions of the diagnosis catalogs you want to use are specified in Customizing for Occupational Health .

Recommendation Recommendation

SAP recommends that you only use one diagnosis catalog in order to achieve unambiguous results in later evaluations.

End of the recommendation.

Diagnosis Group

A diagnosis catalog is subdivided into individual diagnosis groups. These groups classify diseases into infectious and parasitic diseases, diseases of the blood and hemopoietic organs, and so on.

Diagnosis Code

The diagnosis code identifies a disease in a diagnosis catalog. For example, the ICD-10 diagnosis catalog uses a four-digit alphanumeric code (such as J06.9 for the diagnosis Acute upper respiratory infection, unspecified ).

The diagnosis codes are normally listed in the diagnosis catalog.

Diagnosis Priority

The priority specified for a diagnosis enables you to restrict the number of diagnoses displayed for diagnosis selection. If a certain diagnosis is frequent in your company, the diagnosis is assigned priority 1. If a diagnosis is rare, you assign priority 2.

Diagnosis priorities are specified in Customizing for Occupational Health .

Integration
