Plural working diagnoses

Note 1 A working diagnosis is used as a label for the considered condition that one or more care professionals assess as the most probable health condition and that could be concluded after further observations. The basis for such assessments is the already observed conditions.

Note 2 Different care professionals may make different interpretations and assessments of the observed conditions and thereby come to different conclusions and different working.
