# Creating and Maintaining a Personal Diagnosis List

This option enables users to create and maintain a Personal Diagnosis List that displays as one option in the Assign Diagnosis to Order(s) dialog used with Clinical Indicators Data Capture (CIDC) features to assign a diagnosis to specific kinds of orders.

The Personal Diagnosis List dialog enables users to choose diagnoses from the patient's Problem List entries, nationally defined encounter forms, and the Lexicon and add them to a personal diagnosis list for quicker entry of CIDC information.

To create or edit a Personal Diagnoses List, use the following steps:

1. Bring up the Options dialog by choosing Tools | Option....

2. Select the Lists/Teams tab by either clicking on it or pressing Ctrl + Tab until that tab is selected.

3. Bring up the Personal Diagnoses List dialog by either clicking Personal Diagnoses List... or tabbing to that selection and pressing Space.

4. To add diagnoses to your personal list using available sources other than the Lexicon, select a category (Problem List, national encounter form or today's Orders) from the Diagnoses Section pane, highlight one or more diagnoses, and click Add or tab to that button and press Space. Repeat until you have the entries you want in your personal list.
