OpenNotes

OpenNotes is a healthcare initiative that allows patients to access their clinicians' visit notes online. This transparency helps patients better understand their health conditions, treatment plans, and medical history. By having access to their notes, patients can engage more actively in their care, catch potential errors, and ask informed questions. OpenNotes aims to improve communication, build trust, and promote shared decision-making between patients and healthcare providers, ultimately leading to better health outcomes.
