The Presenting Complaint reflects the problem observed or stated by the patient when the patient was admitted (this is not a clinical diagnosis). The Most Responsible ICD-10-CA Diagnosis describes the diagnosis captured by the clinical coding staff, which is typically the primary reason for the patient’s length of stay in the facility. Inpatient, Emergency, and Day Surgery events will only have discharge diagnosis.
