title: The problem-oriented optometric record.
abstract: Today's busy practitioner often has little time to fully review his patient's records and thereby runs the risk of not seeing all the previously collected information. The problem-oriented system of patient record keeping provides one systematic logical method for recording data with previous information easily obtained to allow the practitioner to better utilize past and present data in making patient care decisions. This paper outlines the problem-oriented method and how it may be used in daily optometric practice.
