| Concept | Problem/Diagnosis |
| Description | Any health care condition which may impact on the physical, mental and/or social well-being of an individual, that may require diagnostic, therapeutic or educational action, and which has been determined by a clinician. A diagnosis is based on scientific evaluation of physical signs, symptoms, history, laboratory tests results, and procedures. |
| Use | Use to record detailed information about problems or diagnoses recognised by a clinician. There are many uses including: recording a Diagnosis during an Encounter; populating a Problem List or a Summary Statement, such as a Discharge Summary. Use to record all problems or diagnoses, including those with context-specific qualifiers such as past/present, primary/secondary, active/inactive etc. These qualifiers can be documented separately and included in the ‘Status’ data group, because their use varies in different settings. |
| Misuse | Not to be used to record 'Differential Diagnoses' - use the Differential Diagnosis DCM. Not to be used to record 'Reason for Encounter' - use the Reason for Encounter DCM. Not to be used to record 'Presenting Complaint' - which is information captured early in the encounter, usually prior to full assessment and will be represented using a separate DCM. Not to be used to record procedures - use the Procedure DCM. Not to be used to record symptoms or signs - these should be recorded as part of a patient story or history. A problem such as 'Chest pain' may masquerade as a symptom, however in this context we are recording it as a problem the person has. |
| Purpose | To record details about a problem or diagnosis by a clinician. |

| Problem/Diagnosis | Problem/Diagnosis: Identification of the problem or diagnosis. It is preferred that this item be coded from the Problem/Diagnosis Reference Set Value Domain. This item denotes the name of the condition used by the healthcare provider, after assessment, to describe the health problem or diagnosis experienced by the subject of care. Optional[{fsn=Problem/Diagnosis Identification, detail_docref=data_elements/NEHTA-15514-Problem_Diagnosis_Identification-Data_Element.xml, dc_id=15514, coding_preferred=true, value_domain_name=Problem/Diagnosis Reference Set, value_domain_dc_id=16617}] |
| Clinical Description | Clinical Description: Narrative description or comments about clinical aspects of the problem/diagnosis. Used to provide additional narrative information in relation to a problem/diagnosis. Optional[{detail_docref=data_elements/NEHTA-15597-Clinical_Description-Data_Element.xml, dc_id=15597}] |
| Severity | Severity: A subjective assessment of the severity of the Problem/Diagnosis as evaluated by the clinician. Optional[{detail_docref=data_elements/NEHTA-15531-Severity-Data_Element.xml, dc_id=15531}] |

| Age at Onset | Age at Onset: The estimated or actual age of the individual when the clinician assesses that the problem/diagnosis began. May be important in situations where approximations of age based on calculations are not accurate enough, e.g. in infants under one year. It may also be important for assessing clinical implications such as prognosis of condition, e.g. early onset Alzheimer, multiple sclerosis, certain cancers, etc. Optional[{detail_docref=data_elements/NEHTA-16535-Age_at_Onset-Data_Element.xml, dc_id=16535}] |
