Just so I get this right:
When you rename an episode (or issue) from "Diabetes type 2,
insulin dependant" to "Hypertension" you *do* want to have
the Diabetes codes stick with the now-Hypertension episode ?
(Don't worry *why* someone would do such renaming.)
When does this renaming take effect? For now *yes* I would like to be stuck with that code, if it was not put there by mistake. If I am with a DM patient that now BECOMES Hyper I would like it to stick.
Give me an example of a work flow and I will try to explain my view.
