Auto-select ICD-10 Diagnosis Codes in ADL Order Entry

Enhanced ICD-10 Diagnosis Codes Accessibility

Medication and lab orders in ADL will now display the most commonly used ICD-10 codes, based on the type of order. Upon entering an order into the system, prescribers will be prompted to choose from a list of the most appropriate ICD-10 codes, based on the medication or lab that they are ordering. Users will then select one of the available options or will be able to enter a code of their choice. The system will also show which are the best codes to maximize reimbursement.

ADL Software Update Ready for Download

A new financial update is available:
Release Name: OFU36.01
Release Date: September 13, 2016
Webinar Date: September 12, 2016

Technical Notes:

This release is to be applied via the ADLUpdater. The package is large (about 300 MB), and may take up to 2 hours to apply. The longest parts are scripts related to the ICD update. The timeout for scripts was set to 100 minutes.

Clients should not forcefully stop the ADLUpdater unless it displays a “Could not apply the update” error message.

Since the package is large, customers may want to pre-download it prior to the scheduled down time. They can use “Download Updates” button of the ADLUpdater which will not force an update application right away. When the download is complete they will need to press the “Apply Updates” button to start update application. In this case until the “Apply Updates” button is pressed users can continue using the system.

ADL Updates must be applied sequentially according to release date, in the order specified in the ADL Updates Installation Guide, available here.

A webinar containing instructions for applying ADL software updates is available here.
