All of the following statements describe strict chronological filing EXCEPT:

Organized by time
Useful for tracking progress
Problem list arranged according to past history
Historical medical events in order

The correct answer is: Problem list arranged according to past history

Strict chronological filing is a method of organizing information in chronological order, or by time. It is useful for tracking progress and correctly lists historical medical events in order. However, it may not be the most effective method for organizing a problem list according to a patient's past history. Other methods, such as problem-oriented or problem-based filing systems, may be more helpful in this case.
