Junior doctors receive minimal training in problem list use during medical school and postgraduate training. Few consultants require problem lists, indicating a gap in clinical practice adoption.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Clinical Informatics
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Problem lists are a key tool in medical record-keeping and patient management.
  • Effective training in clinical documentation is crucial for junior doctors' professional development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the adequacy of undergraduate and postgraduate training in problem list utilization among junior doctors.
  • To evaluate the extent to which consultants demand the use of problem lists in clinical practice.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire survey was administered to 100 junior doctors regarding their training experiences.
  • A separate questionnaire was sent to Deans of 27 British medical schools to ascertain curriculum content.
  • Data on postgraduate exposure to consultants requiring problem lists was also collected.

Main Results:

  • 57% of junior doctors reported problem lists were 'hardly mentioned' during their medical school training.
  • Only one Dean out of 24 respondents believed problem lists were inadequately covered.
  • Post-graduation, only 35 junior doctors had worked for a consultant who mandated problem lists, with 17 working for more than one.

Conclusions:

  • Most junior doctors lack sufficient training in problem list usage from both undergraduate and postgraduate education.
  • There is a significant disconnect between medical schools' perceived training and junior doctors' reported experiences.
  • Limited demand for problem lists by consultants suggests a barrier to their consistent application in clinical settings.
