I have been trying to use my technology to answer the following
questions:-
1.How many patients are recorded as having hayfever(H172-99) or allergic
rhinitis - pollen (H170) in my practice?
NB The code confusion is due to having a Read code conversion and a
rescue.. I'll tell everyone the sad story if anyone is interested!
2.In the past 3 years,how many of these patients have received either
kenalog or antihistamines?(The later may or may not have been prescribed
for hayfever - and I have no record of OTC medication)
Answers.
