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:

Philosophy of Science
Nursing Ethics
Science and Technology Studies

Background:

Traditional view: philosophy applied to clinical care.
Need for new frameworks to understand complex care situations.
Limitations of protocol-driven and linear reasoning in healthcare.

Purpose of the Study:

Reconceptualize clinical care as a generative site for philosophy.
Introduce the 'event of nursing' concept.
Explore nursing practice as an already-theorizing, posthuman ethical practice.

Main Methods:

Speculative vignette from emergency nursing.
Drawing on posthumanist thinkers (Spinoza, Barad, Haraway, Braidotti, Deleuze & Guattari).
Analysis of care production through relational, material, and institutional forces.

Main Results:

Nursing practice enacts, improvises, and sustains a posthuman ethics in real-time.
Nursing knowledge is an entangled thinking-feeling-doing, irreducible to abstraction or procedure.
Response-ability emerges from navigating competing temporalities, infrastructures, and affective pressures.

Conclusions:

Nursing offers philosophy a model of ethics grounded in affective intelligence and situated multiplicity.
The 'event of nursing' provides insights into infrastructural friction and improvisational labor.
Proposes 'assemblage notes,' 'situated adequacy metrics,' and 'posthuman night rounds' to make care labor legible.
