Problem List Comment: Several commenters noted that the coding of problem lists at the point of care is outside the normal workflow process and would be disruptive. Response: We did not and do not intend that coding of the diagnosis be done at the point of care. This coding could be done later and by individuals other than the diagnosing provider.
