Physicians and providers should report all diagnoses that impact

the patient's care, and ensure that these diagnoses are accurately

documented in the medical record. This includes the main reason for

the episode of care, and all co-existing, acute or chronic conditions,

and pertinent past conditions that impact clinical evaluation and

therapeutic treatment.
