The Epic Problem List
About this video
Personified Epic executives panic that bloated patient problem lists, full of decades-old, duplicated, and contradictory entries, are overwhelming their servers, and they summon Family Medicine as the only character who can clean them up. Flanary portrays problem-list maintenance as unglamorous nighttime labor that everyone assumes belongs to family medicine. The sketch satirizes electronic health record clutter and the invisible work of fixing it.
Key takeaways
- Flanary portrays problem lists as bloated by decades of uncleaned entries
- The sketch argues cleanup defaults to family medicine because others assume it is their job
- His point is that EHR clutter is a labor problem dumped on one specialty
