The medical problem list should function like an executive summary of the important, relevant information in a patient’s electronic health record (EHR). But too frequently it’s plagued by issues that make a clinician’s job harder, not easier.
We’re here to help. This blog is packed with resources to help you tackle your problem list woes and turn it into a more effective clinical tool.

- Outdated problems
- Lack of standardization
- Clutter
- Siloed data
- Lack of specificity
- Rigid displays
To chuckle (and maybe commiserate) with your fellow clinicians, download the eBook today.
