Opennotes

OpenNotes is an international movement and research initiative based at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, affiliated with Harvard Medical School. It advocates for greater transparency in healthcare by encouraging clinicians to share their visit notes with patients. By providing patients with access to their clinical notes, OpenNotes aims to enhance patient engagement, improve understanding of health conditions, and foster better communication between patients and healthcare providers. The initiative supports the implementation of open notes across various healthcare settings and offers resources to facilitate this practice.
