The definition of a Admit Diagnoses is the patients complaint when they appear for service.

CC=Chief compliant- Admit diagnoses,

Under the HPI which is the H &P it states pt was given a diagnoses of gastroenteritis. that is a working diagnosis for the physician to further follow up.

There fore the admitting Dx are the chief complaint diagnoses of fever , vomiting and diarrhea.

I would list the codes in the order they document them

Does that make better sense?

The principal is correct, other is only one secondary and that is dehydration
