There's a problem with the problem list: incongruence of patient problem information across the home care admission.
The purpose of this observational field study was to illustrate patterns of patient problem information received and documented across the home health care (HHC) admission process and offer practice, policy, and health information technology recommendations to improve information transfer. The investigators concluded that diagnosis or problem information transferred from the referral source or gathered during an in-home assessment did not appear in the plan of care. Because of the EHR structure, clinicians could not identify inactive problem or problem priority.
