How to Write an Open Note: Webinar
How do you write a note when patients are reading? Do you need to change how you document? Will your notes become longer? Shorter? Will you need to “dumb down” your note?
Combined, Leonor Fernandez, MD, and CT Lin, MD, have 20 years of experience with open notes. In this webinar, they help you understand and get more comfortable with “how to” write an open note.
