Confusion between two fields of sample test data file

[Uzair Rasheed]

Hi,

What is the difference between these two fields  "Diagnoses, including primary and E codes and V codes" and "Active problems". What is meant by " "Diagnoses, including primary and E codes and V codes". 

Thanks.

Uzair Rasheed,

Can you please let me know which document you obtained the quoted “fields” from?

Regards,

Brian
