Answer to Question 1

A problem list is an up--to--date list of the diagnoses and conditions that affect a particular patient's care.

Clinicians might use a problem list for anytwo of the following reasons:

Easy to see the active problems for a patient, and also view the history of problems. Most clinical information recorded in the chart will be related to one or more problems. Everyone who touches the patient knows what conditions are present.

Problem lists are used to track both acute and chronic conditions.

Such lists help the clinician to remember to follow up on conditions from previous visits.

Maintaining a problem list is a requirement for accreditation by JCAHO .
