How MyTCM pairs an ICD code and a TCM pattern with acupoints and herbs
Choose the ICD code and the TCM pattern. MyTCM suggests acupoints and herbs for that combination, so you are reviewing a treatment plan instead of building one from a blank note.
The chain, step by step
- You record the diagnosis with an ICD-9 or ICD-10 code, which is what insurers and MSP need.
- You record the TCM pattern using Maciocia diagnostic terminology.
- MyTCM suggests acupoints (WHO acupuncture nomenclature, 361 points) and herbs (Pinyin plus Latin names) for that code and pattern together.
- You review, change or reject each suggestion, and the approved plan goes into the SOAP note.
What the pairing is based on
More than 10 textbooks from Canada and China, and 20 years of clinical documentation analysed from three acupuncture clinics in Vancouver. You do not have to set up presets before it works.
You stay in control
The suggestions are advisory. A licensed practitioner reviews and approves every suggestion before it becomes part of a patient's record. The Adaptive mode learns your own charting offline, and Smart pairing uses the preset pairings.
