CRICO has been an early supporter of OpenNotes and has aided in the expansion of the project — a method to engage patients and increase transparency by sharing clinician notes with patients.
A CME module on the American Medical Association’s STEP Forward website, called Adopting OpenNotes: Partnering with Patients, outlines the concept of sharing visit notes with patients, step-by-step strategies in adopting OpenNotes, as well as provides tips for physicians and the entire care team to maximize the benefits of OpenNotes.
