Methods of Documentation II: POMR

Methods of Documentation II: POMR

The Problem-Oriented Medical Record (POMR) revolutionized medical record-keeping by introducing a systematic approach focusing on the patient's problems rather than merely listing symptoms. Dr. Lawrence Weed's introduction of this method in the 1960s marked a significant advancement in medical documentation. The POMR framework consists of four key components: the database, problem list, plan of care, and progress notes.

Area of Science:

Medical Education
Health Professions Education
Academic Medicine

Background:

Teaching is a crucial role for faculty in academic health sciences centers.
Accurate educational workload delineation is vital for recognizing teaching efforts and equitable resource distribution.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and assess a tool for delineating pediatric faculty educational workload.
To promote teaching recognition and facilitate fair resource allocation within academic health sciences centers.

Main Methods:

A prototype educational workload measurement tool was developed and piloted in three phases (2002-2004).
Pilot phases assessed face validity, feasibility, and the development/feasibility of a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) version.
Qualitative interviews with participants identified strengths, weaknesses, and barriers to tool implementation.

Main Results:

The tool was found usable and captured a wide range of educational activities.
The PDA format was preferred for ease of use and reception.
Key implementation barriers included faculty skepticism and concerns about prioritizing teaching quantity over quality.

Conclusions:

A practical tool was created to document the varied educational workload of pediatric faculty.
Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) technology can streamline educational workload data collection.
Addressing faculty skepticism is essential for future successful adoption and implementation of such tools.
