title: Assessing physician comprehension of and attitudes toward problem list documentation.
abstract: We conducted an online survey to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practice patterns of physicians related to issues in problem list documentation. Respondents felt that a decision support tool to improve problem list documentation would benefit patient safety more than physician productivity. The majority of respondents are reluctant to maintain medication and problem lists and the quality of documentation remains inadequate.
