01:21Methods of Documentation III: PIE
Problem-intervention-evaluation (PIE) is a systematic approach to documentation used in healthcare settings for clinical decision-making and patient care planning. It is a structured approach to organizing patient data based on problems, interventions, and evaluations. Here's a breakdown of its key features and considerations:
01:18Methods of Documentation I: Source-Oriented Records
Source-oriented records, or SOR, are medical record-keeping organized by the data source. The SOR system was first developed in the mid-1900s to organize the growing patient data in hospitals and other healthcare facilities.
In an SOR, each discipline involved in patient care maintains a separate medical record section. This record-keeping method enables easy tracking of patient progress and ensures healthcare staff have access to up-to-date information.
Key Attributes include the following:

Summary
Parents using bedside tablets to access their child
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Healthcare
- Health Informatics
- Patient Engagement
Background:
- Despite the 21st Century Cures Act, parent access to clinical notes remains low.
- Parents are crucial for patient safety but face challenges staying informed.
- Limited access to written clinical information hinders parental involvement.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate parent access to and experiences with clinical notes via bedside tablets.
- Focus on children's oncology hospitalizations.
- Assess the impact of real-time note access on parent engagement.
Main Methods:
- Mixed methods study involving parents of children under 12 admitted to an oncology service.
- Real-time note access provided through a patient portal on bedside tablets.
- Data collected via electronic tracking, OpenNotes surveys, and semistructured interviews.
Main Results:
- All 25 participating parents accessed clinical notes, with a mean of 31 notes per parent.
- Nearly half (49%) of all shared notes were accessed by parents.
- Most parents found notes understandable and useful, though 20% identified potential inaccuracies, 60% of which were safety concerns.
Conclusions:
- Bedside tablet access to clinical notes is beneficial for parents in pediatric oncology.
- Support is needed for parents navigating complex medical information.
- Systematic processes are required to address parent-identified safety concerns.
