Ok, I'll think about the basic layout and let you know how it's going
on. At first I've to dive a little deeper in Database-Access and Python and how you've done this in GNUmed. Could take a while, because I'm a little busy at the moment.

I assume yes.while playing around with GNUmed I realized that there isn't a possibility to asign ICD10-codes to diagnosis yet. I was thinking about writing a plugin or so, that can do this.That would be great ! GNUmed could really use a code browser. I would imagine it works like this: - user checks which coding system(s) they want to search - initially there can be just one choice, say ICD10-GM-2008 - the GNUmed middleware can tell you which coding systems are available in the backend - the user types a term - GNUmed checks which coding systems were activated for being searched - GNUmed checks those coding systems for matches - the GNUmed middleware can give you those matches - the user selects one or several of the results - GNUmed associates the selected result(s) with the term Now, the "user enters term" part can also happen programmatically, eg. when the users selects one of the health issues or episodes for coding. Also, the "which coding system" part can happen programmatically, perhaps according to a configuration option. Don't worry too much about the details in the first iteration -- just get an idea of where it would be useful to go eventually. Examples for other useful coding systems would be: OPS, ICPC, even EBM or GOÄ.In Germany you can get the German Revision of the ICD10 via http://dimdi.de as ASCII-File for about 10€ (Maybe the WHO offer it for free, I have to look this up) so it should be no problem to import this in the database.Correct. Last years data is even available for free. Karsten |
