Methods of Documentation II: POMR

922
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.

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,...

Summary

Witnessing osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) efficacy early in medical school strongly correlates with its future clinical use by Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (DOs). Early exposure is key to increasing OMT adoption in practice.

Area of Science:

  • Osteopathic medicine
  • Medical education
  • Clinical practice

Background:

  • Many Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (DOs) are trained in osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) but do not utilize it in practice.
  • The reasons for underutilization of OMT are not fully understood.
  • Anecdotal evidence suggests witnessing OMT's efficacy firsthand influences physician adoption.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the relationship between witnessing OMT's effectiveness and its subsequent use in clinical practice.
  • To investigate the impact of early clinical exposure to OMT on physician practice patterns.

Main Methods:

  • Surveys were administered to Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (DOs) and osteopathic medical students at Des Moines University.
  • Participants were categorized based on their current OMT utilization or future interest in OMT.
  • Survey data were analyzed to identify correlations between early OMT exposure and practice habits.

Main Results:

  • 96.1% of DOs who utilize OMT witnessed its efficacy in real-life cases during their first two years of medical school.
  • Only 7.4% of DOs who do not utilize OMT had similar early exposure opportunities.
  • A strong parallel was observed in current osteopathic medical students' interest levels and their reported exposure to OMT's effectiveness.

Conclusions:

  • Early, real-life exposure to the efficacy of osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) is crucial for fostering its use in clinical practice.
  • Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (COMs) should consider implementing programs to provide students with early OMT experience.
  • Extracurricular activities focused on OMT can enhance student interest and future utilization of osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM).
