A diagnosis may be listed as a known diagnosis, one that has been confirmed, or a possible diagnosis, one that is suspected or part of a differential list that tests will be done to either confirm or eliminate. This second type is called R/O (rule out), for example, a patient in the ER with chest pain may have the diagnosis R/O myocardial infarction (heart attack) until the tests have been completed to determine if the person did or did not have a heart attack.
