In primary care, time constraints and communication challenges can hinder patient understanding and treatment adherence. OpenNotes promotes transparency and improves patient engagement, health literacy, and self-efficacy by allowing patients to access their clinical notes. Patients are increasingly using artificial intelligence (AI) — particularly large language models (LLM) — to help interpret these notes. Moreover, LLMs offer support for physicians by assisting with patient portal communication. However, there are risks of inappropriate or inconsistent responses. Therefore, further research is needed to explore the safe and effective application of AI in the primary care setting.
