April 24, 2024: Conditions Component Improvements

Improvements have been made to the organization of conditions in the Conditions Component to help clinical users more easily make sense of a patient’s condition history. These changes will begin rolling out today!

Indicating High-Risk Conditions

A previously released update now indicates conditions that qualify for Hierarchical Condition Categories with a blue HCC badge. HCCs can be used to identify patients with serious acute or chronic conditions as part of a risk-adjustment model. Specific HCC and ICD codes can be found by opening the condition’s details side panel.

⚠️ The HCC indicator is currently displayed based off of the CMS risk-adjustment model. Please reach out if your organization would like to switch to the HHS model, or disable the HCC indicator.

Grouping Conditions by Category

Patient problem lists are messy. In addition to ongoing work to reduce the number of duplicate conditions, we’ve also grouped conditions by Clinical Classifications (CCSR) category by default. Now, clinical users can more easily understand a patient’s overall problem areas, as well as compare diagnoses within a category. Conditions will remain grouped by category even when filters are applied.

Ongoing Improvements

Over the coming weeks, additional improvements will be made to dates related to conditions.

• Enhancements to the Last Diagnosed date will more accurately indicate the last time a condition was recorded by a physician in the patient’s chart. This date will be reflected on the Overview card, as well as in a dedicated column in the Conditions Component.
• The Onset Date field will be updated to include the earliest known physician recorded date if no Onset Date is specified.
