From 1969 to 1982, Dr. Lawrence L. Weed worked at the University of Vermont to computerize the problem-oriented medical record (POMR). He recognized that the mind of the physician could not effectively process the large amount of information received, and this could interfere with the care of the patient. He began to organize the data temporarily to make them more available to the physician. This pairing of data led to the development of a commercial product, Problem - Knowledge Couplers (PKC - [1]).
