A Shortcut for Getting Diagnoses onto the Problem List

I was going through letters from specialists about some of my patients, and I had a bunch of diagnoses that I wanted to enter in for the various patients, (in this case diagnoses that the specialists had made after I had referred the patients). I find it cumbersome to open the PMHx and search through the different categories in such cases, especially since they are often quite specialized.
So I tried something different. I opened the patient's chart, then started a new note in the Quick Note category. In the HPI section, I just typed "New diagnoses from evaluation by Dr. ________" (on some others, I just left the HPI blank). Then I just went to the Diagnosis section, clicked on the wizard icon, and searched for the diagnoses I wanted. Once the diagnoses were added to the note, I had to click on the icon to the far right that adds the diagnosis to the PMHx.
It says it adds it to the problem list, but it doesn't without this extra step: You need to click on the Facesheet, then go to the Problems section, then click on the boxes of each of the diagnoses that you want added to the Problem list (these are the ones you added to PMHx by clicking on the icon in the note). Once you've done this, they'll appear as active problems.
This still isn't quite as straightforward as I like, but I think it's probably the simplest way to add complicated diagnoses when you're reviewing your mail or old charts.
