More than 168,000 Geisinger Health System (GHS) patients have access to their doctors’ notes for the first time through the secure MyGeisinger online patient portal. Geisinger expanded OpenNotes in May 2013 due to the initiative’s overwhelming success.
As of November 2013, the expansion of OpenNotes now includes more than 1,000 Geisinger clinicians, encompassing all of primary care and general pediatrics, and selected physicians within pediatric subspecialties, dermatology, endocrinology, pulmonology, nephrology, rheumatology, cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, vascular surgery, neurosurgery, and women’s health – including obstetrics and gynecology and gynecologic oncology.
