Problem-Oriented Medical Record (POMR) Study.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the problem-oriented medical record POMR and to determine the feasibility of its use within health care facilities of the Army Medical Department AMEDD. It was determined that the POMR is being utilized to some degree in the majority of the Army medical treatment facilities within the US Army Health Services Command. It was also determined that 60 percent of the Army physicians responding to the survey believed that the AMEDD should provide official authorization for the use of the POMR. This report recommends that the AMEDD authorize use of the POMR, subject to certain restrictions. Author
