The diagnoses lists and procedure lists included on this disk
are not perfect nor comprehensive. If you are willing to perfect
certain code areas, please do so and submit changes to AAMSI
Software exchange. Basically we are interested in the clinical
terms and synonyms that are used in patient care by the provider
who fills out a route sheet, encounter sheet, superbill, medical
record face sheet, or clinical research data sheet. We are not
interested in the official ICD-9 or CPT-4 terminology except
when it concurs with clinical use. The intended purpose of these
lists is for database dictionary lookup for medical software
of any type. That is why there are sometimes multiple terms for
specific codes. Although there are probably instances of clinical
terms for which no suitable code exists, it is best to try to
force the term into a less specific code.
