Methods of Documentation II: POMR

1.3K
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.

Socioemotional Experience and Gender Development

195
Social-emotional experiences and cultural influences play significant roles in shaping gender development. During middle childhood, from ages 6 to 11, peer groups become dominant in reinforcing gender norms. Children in this age group often align with same-gender peer groups, which actively encourage behaviors that conform to traditional gender roles. For instance, boys may be discouraged from engaging in activities perceived as feminine, reinforcing culturally dictated norms about masculinity...

Chronopharmacokinetics: Circadian Rhythms and Influence on Drug Response

252
Circadian rhythms are cyclic changes that are crucial in plasma drug concentrations. Various standard circadian parameters, including core body temperature, heart rate, and other cardiovascular factors, directly impact disease states and the therapeutic response to drug therapy.
The time of drug administration is an important factor to consider, as it can influence the toxic dose of a drug. For example, a study conducted by Prins et al. in 1997 examined the effects of the timing of...

Obedience

35.0K
According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...

Factors Affecting Illness01:18

Factors Affecting Illness

4.8K
When a person's physical, emotional, intellectual, social development or spiritual functioning is compromised, this deviation from a healthy normal state is called illness. Illness creates stress that in turn harms individuals. Irritation, anger, denial, hopelessness, and fear are behavioral and emotional changes an individual experiences in the phases of illness. A variety of factors influence a person's health and well-being.
For instance, risk factors are connected to illness,...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Practice
  • Physician Demographics
  • Gender Studies in Medicine

Background:

  • Women are increasingly entering the field of family medicine.
  • However, significant differences in practice patterns between male and female family physicians remain understudied.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate current practice pattern differences between male and female family physicians.
  • Specifically, to compare average weekly total hours and direct patient care hours based on gender.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized data from 2017-2018 American Board of Family Medicine Certification Examination demographic questionnaires.
  • Analyzed reported average weekly total hours and direct patient care hours stratified by age and gender.

Main Results:

  • A notable gender gap was identified in both overall work hours and direct patient care hours.
  • Female family physicians consistently reported fewer hours compared to their male counterparts across all age demographics.

Conclusions:

  • The findings reveal a significant disparity in work hours between male and female family physicians.
  • Further research is needed to understand the underlying causes and implications of this gender gap in family medicine practice.
