Managing diagnoses

tkDerm has a database that stores data on diagnoses and their synonyms. The supposed benefits of keeping such a database include:

1. to reduce the number of mistakes in spelling of diagnoses.
2. to reduce the number of key strokes in typing diagnoses.
3. to improve efficiency of a search using a diagnosis as a key.

tkDerm offers two ways of registering diagnoses and their synonyms. One is to use the Diagnosis entry in the New Data or Edit Macro (or Micro) dialog. The other is to use the Diagnosis dialog.

The subsequent sections describe how to use the diagnosis database.
