Software AMA Guides 6th edition

Under the new AMA Guides 6th edition

 

More diagnosis based with diagnosis being evidence based

When possible

 

The move to a diagnosis-based impairment approach is the best feature of

 

the Sixth Edition. Diagnosis is how physicians (evaluators) think. Clinical

 

eduction and discussion of illness and injury usually included four considerations,

 

which are often described as the SOAP note (subjective, objective,

 

assessment, plan). The Sixth Edition impairment model now uses:

 

1. What symptoms and functional difficulties do the individual

report (history)?

 

2. What are the physical findings (examination)?

 

3. What are results of the clinical studies?

 

4. What is the problem (diagnosis)?

 

The diagnosis now directs the rater to the appropriate table to start the

 

impairment rating process.
