The Weed system is an orderly identification of patient problems, interventions guided by these problems, an systematic documentation of more or less effective solutions. We outline our attempts to modify this system in a manner to retain these essentials while increasing acceptance by staff in a psychiatric unit of a general hospital. Our system, termed treatment organized by objectives (TOBO), and the companion record organized by objective (ROBO), may serve as practical modifications of the problem-oriented system and record.
