title: Cross-institutional reuse of a problem statement knowledge base.
abstract: This article describes client and server applications for a problem statement knowledge base derived from a large corpus of provider entered terminology. The current status and potential for integration of the server into the Vanderbilt University Medical Center computing environment are discussed. Finally, an experiment in multiple dimensions of reuse for problem list terms is introduced, and possible strategies to mediate between free text and coded data are examined.
