Any two of the following:

Easy to see the active problems for a patient, and also view the history of problems. Most clinical information recorded in the chart are related to one or more problems. Everyone who touches the patient knows what conditions are present.

Problem lists are used to track both acute and chronic conditions.

Helps the clinician to remember to follow up on conditions from previous visits. Maintaining a problem list is a requirement for accreditation by JCAHO.
