OpenNotes is working on patient portal based solutions to help care partners & older adults get the information they need. We’re excited to invite other collaborators to join us in this effort.

Tom Delbanco, MD, and Catherine DesRoches, DrPH, Co-Founder and Executive Director respectively of OpenNotes, discuss common concerns and best practices when sharing clinical notes with patients. 

DirectTrust— a nonprofit devoted to advancing interoperabilty in healthcare—has named OpenNotes as an Interoperability Hero for their work to foster and evaluate the spread and implementation of shared clinical notes (“open notes”), and advance healthcare transparency initiatives in the U.S. and overseas.

Patients having access to their visit notes is a big step in the right direction, but can co-generating notes – OurNotes — go even further in creating better transparency and collaboration between patients and clinicians?

In 2016, RedHat Films released a short film, The Open Patient, as a part of their OpenSourceStories series. The film explores what greater transparency could mean for patients and clinicians navigating . . .

OpenNotes, in collaboration with our friends at Ciitizen, partnered to create an online resource in response to a new federal regulation that now requires healthcare providers to give patients access to key parts of their electronic medical records.
