Lawrence Weed

Lawrence Weed is a medical pioneer who developed the problem-oriented medical record (POMR), a system designed to improve patient care. His approach organizes medical information around specific issues or diagnoses rather than disorganized notes, helping healthcare providers see the full picture more clearly. This method encourages systematic problem-solving, better documentation, and coordinated care. Weed’s innovations have influenced modern medical record-keeping, making healthcare more efficient and focused on patient-centered outcomes by emphasizing a structured approach to managing health problems.
