Many EHR problem lists have duplicate entries, outdated diagnoses and other information unrelated to a patient’s present condition, leading to confusion and frustration for clinicians.
Problem list governance can resolve these issues by establishing clear policies and guidance for what a list should include and how a list should be organized. By adopting a strong governance strategy, healthcare organizations can streamline list maintenance and plan for improvements over time.
Explore these key considerations for problem list governance:
- Consider your organizational goals for the problem list
- Establish a governance task force including clinical leaders and other stakeholders
- Define clear rules for how the problem list should look and who is responsible for each task
