Open Notes 101 for Clinicians: Webinar
Think of this as a crash course in open notes! In this webinar two of the nation’s top experts cover what clinicians need to know about sharing notes with patients.
Jump to the webinar recordings below.
Open notes is not a new concept, but rather a new way of approaching patient-clinician relationships through more transparent communication. Beginning April 5, 2021, the 21st Century Cures Act will require patients be provided access to all the health information in their electronic medical records without charge by their healthcare providers. There is a need for U.S. clinicians to get up to speed on best practices for open notes within a matter of months.
In this webinar (jump to the recordings below), you will learn about the major findings of open notes research over the past 10 years, and a physician expert shares her experience and tips after 10 years of experience sharing notes in a safety net hospital.
