Family Health History Grid Does Not Display Free Text Diagnoses

Issue ID: 50292

Versions Affected

NextGen® KBM v.8.3.5 to v.8.3.7

The Issue

NextGen Healthcare has identified an issue on the Family History Expanded Conditions template where documented information entered as free text instead of text selected from the picklist, does not display on the Family Health History grid.

Example

In this example, the user creates a new patient or opens an existing patient and creates a new encounter. The user navigates to the Intake template and selects a specialty and visit type. The user selects the Histories tab, scrolls down to the Family History panel, and clicks Add. The user documents a relationship, a family member name, and selects the Other check box. From the Family History Expanded Conditions pop-up, the user selects the first Condition field to launch the Get Family Sec Diag pick list and immediately closes it. The user documents information into the Condition field and clicks Save to Grid & Close. The user sees the documented information does not appear on the Family Health History grid.
