AbstractDiagnosisCode, DiagnosisCode, DiagnosisCode_Empty

public interface EtiologyPairingIF

This holds a list of Codes that can be paired with the owning code. This has been deprecated because it is specific to ICD-9. Use the EtiologyPairingIF instead.

Method Summary

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
EtiologyPairingListIF	getEtiologyPairCodes() gets the list of etiology pairs - only valid when the code is flagged as a secondary only
boolean	isEtiologyInPairingList(DiagnosisCodeIF etiologyCode) check to determine if the code is on the list of code pairs for this diagnosis.
boolean	isValidEtiologyPairing(DiagnosisCodeIF etiologyCode) This determines if the supplied etiology code can be paired with the owning manifestation code.
void	setEtiologyPairCodes(java.util.List<DiagnosisCodeIF> pairs) Sets the Allowable Etiology Pair codes for this current code.

Method Detail

getEtiologyPairCodes

EtiologyPairingListIF getEtiologyPairCodes()

gets the list of etiology pairs - only valid when the code is flagged as a secondary only

Returns:

a List of diagnosis codes that are valid as the second part of an Allowable Etiology Pair (taken from the original Table 3, Part 1 - acceptable etiology/manifestation pairs). This list should never be null, but may be empty

setEtiologyPairCodes

void setEtiologyPairCodes(java.util.List<DiagnosisCodeIF> pairs)

Sets the Allowable Etiology Pair codes for this current code. The codes in the list should be the second code in the pairs of codes as originally defined in Table 3, Part 1. only valid when the code is flagged as a secondary only

Parameters:

pairs -

isEtiologyInPairingList

boolean isEtiologyInPairingList(DiagnosisCodeIF etiologyCode)

check to determine if the code is on the list of code pairs for this diagnosis.

Parameters:

code -

Returns:

true if the code is allowed as a pair, otherwise false. If the this diagnosis does not have a list of pairs, then it also returns false.

isValidEtiologyPairing

boolean isValidEtiologyPairing(DiagnosisCodeIF etiologyCode)

This determines if the supplied etiology code can be paired with the owning manifestation code. This is based on a pairing list. If the pairing list is an inclusionary list and this method returns true, then that would be the same as isEtiologyInPairingList() == true. If the pairing list is an exclusionary list and this method returns true, then that would be the same as isEtiologyInPairingList() == false.

Parameters:

etiologyCode -

code -

Returns:

true if the etiology code can be paired with the current code (which should be a manifestation code)
