Diagnosis FAQs

In this article:

Why isn’t there a Diagnosis? 

This can happen for a variety of reasons, including: 

  • A diagnosis is not yet available from the admitting facility. Diagnosis information may be delayed in the Emergency Department while providers establish a diagnosis.
  • Some data elements are missing for your patient.
    • We incorporate additional data elements into our matching algorithm before we share the diagnosis. You will not be able to see your patient’s diagnosis if you have not provided the patient's zip code or SSN information.
  • Diagnosis information is not yet available for manual admitting facilities. 
  • The diagnosis is sensitive (e.g., HIV, STI, genetic testing).
  • The admitting facility did not share diagnosis information with PatientPing
