This literature review and bibliography resulted from a study to design a method for determining the impact of the computerized problem-oriented medical record (POMR) on the nursing components of patient care. The POMR is a system for the documentation of patient care consisting of four related components: a data base, problem list, initial plans for each problem, and progress notes, including information assessment and any revisions of the plan. The bibliography is designed to assist in determining the areas in which the problem-oriented record can assist, and the areas in which further development is required. The literature is reviewed in five categories: (1) the nursing process; (2) the POMR; (3) nursing and the POMR; (4) the computerized POMR; and (5) nursing and the computerized POMR. The bibliography of 680 items is divided into two sections: the nursing process and the problem oriented record and/or system. Access is provided by content area and an author index. (Author/KP)
