Abstract

A method, a computing device and a computer program product are provided for associating a diagnosis code, such as an ICD-10 code, with an encounter. In the context of a method, an indication is received that a diagnosis code from a prior encounter is also to be utilized in conjunction with a subsequent encounter. The method further includes determining whether the diagnosis code from the prior encounter is associated with an initial encounter for a respective condition. In an instance in which the diagnosis code from the prior encounter is associated with an initial encounter for the respective condition, the method also determines whether the diagnosis code should be modified to be associated with the subsequent encounter. As such, the method, computing device and computer program product can facilitate the creation of a medical record with accurate diagnosis codes.
