Topics My Preferences > ICD Search:  
The list of all ICD codes is close to 15,000. Depending on the specialty of the doctor, he is likely to use a very limited set. It is possible to create a list of his preferred codes by selecting the required ones from the complete list. This way, he gets to select a code from his limited list. Of course, he always has the option to select a code from the comprehensive list if required.

This list can be created specifically for each doctor by going to the Settings > My Preferences > ICD option when the doctor has logged in. In clinics where all doctors are of the same specialty, it is possible to create a clinic-specific list of ICD codes by going to the Settings > Configuration > Clinic > Pref ICD option. This list is shared by all doctors, so that the common codes need to be selected only once.
