The Problem List

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

A problem list is a running record of a patient's active and resolved conditions, maintained across encounters.

Show

A problem list carries terms forward, so one entry may be read years after it was written.

Watch for

An ambiguous abbreviation on a problem list outlives the person who wrote it.
