Can not get ICD to load from icd9data.com

Hi Brady,

Thanks for your reply.
I installed WWW::Mechanize and executed Perl command as per your instructions. But, ICD code was over written in same location. Finally Last code only showed in database.
Log info:

INSERT INTO codes ( code_type, code, modifier, code_text  ) VALUES ( 2, ‘Code’, ‘’, ‘Cholera due to vibrio cholerae’ );
UPDATE codes SET code_text = ‘Cholera due to vibrio cholerae el tor’ WHERE code_type = 2 AND code = ‘Code’;
UPDATE codes SET code_text = ‘Cholera unspecified’ WHERE code_type = 2 AND code = ‘Code’;

Can you please help me what may be wrong?

Thanks,
Raju

hey,

What version OpenEMR you using. If using 3.1.0, then consider installing most recent patch to get most recent load\_icd\_desc.plx script. Also, this overwrites your current codes (stated in instructions above in message 15). Also suggest backing up via admininstration->backup before doing this stuff just in case.

hey,
Yes, I was following those instructions, but it was a problem with the connection, there was poor internet signal,
once I downloaded it in other place it downloded easy.
Thanks anyway.

Hey, I am trying out version 3.2 and have followed all instructions on the ICD9 script. When I run the scrip in a browser it returned these result - Inserted 0 rows, updated 0 codes.
I don’t know what I am doing wrong.

Hi,

The problem is due to some changes made in the web site from where icd9 codes are scraped. This issue is already discussed. Refer http://sourceforge.net/projects/openemr/forums/forum/202506/topic/3891702
