An accurate, comprehensive and up-to-date problem list can help clinicians provide patient-centered care. Unfortunately, problem lists created and maintained in electronic health records by providers tend to be inaccurate, duplicative and out of date.

In this paper, we describe an automated problem list generation method and report on insights from a pilot study of physicians’ assessment of the generated problem lists compared to existing providers-curated problem lists in an institution's EHR system.
