Where can you find a patient's diagnoses for the current admission?

The patient's diagnoses for the current admission can be found in the patient's header or problem list section. This section is specifically designed to highlight key clinical information regarding the patient, including active diagnoses and problems that are pertinent to the current hospitalization. The problem list provides a consolidated view of the patient's health status, which is essential for healthcare providers to quickly understand the patient's medical history and focus on care during the current admission.

In contrast, the medications list only provides information about the medications the patient is taking and does not summarize diagnoses or problems. The doctor's notes may contain diagnoses, but they are not a dedicated section for this information and can vary significantly in format and detail. Lab results summarize diagnostic tests performed on the patient but do not provide a comprehensive overview of diagnoses related to their admission. Thus, the most reliable and direct way to find the patient's current diagnoses is through the header or problem list section.
