Problem

Something which is difficult to find an answer to.


A medical disorder.


An addiction to something.


A disease, injury, or any other condition or situation which brings an individual into contact with the health care system. Certain conditions, such as alcoholism, are not admitted by all to be diseases, but they do bring individuals to health care, as do ill-defined symptoms, behavioral problems, the need for well-person examinations, and the like. This is the usage of the term “problem” in the “problem-oriented medical record (POMR)”.
