Hats off 👒 🎩 to Drs. Sara Jackson & Christopher Wong (University of Washington - School of Medicine) for LITERALLY writing the book on patient-centered note writing... out now by Springer Medicine. That's right, the book 📖 on "how to write an open note" was not written by OpenNotes (or CT Lin 😉). Congratulations to our favorite Seattle colleagues. UW was doing #opennotes from the very beginning, before it was cool, and before it was a national law. Bravo! 👏 https://lnkd.in/gN9zVdMJ h/t Cait DesRoches, DrPH MSc Tom Delbanco, MD Amanda Norris Chethan Sarabu, MD, FAMIA, FAAP Fabienne Bourgeois Steve ONeill Liz Salmi

We study the effects of shared clinical notes on patients, care partners and clinicians, and disseminate our findings.
About us
OpenNotes is a movement to make health care more open and transparent. We do this by conducting research and providing free tools and resources that help clinicians and health care systems share visit notes with patients. In collaboration with activist patients, clinical and administrative champions, researchers, advocacy organizations, and philanthropic foundations, our mission is to call for a fundamental change in medical practice - the sharing of notes with patients - with the goal of empowering patients, families, and care partners to feel more in control of their health care decisions and improving the quality and safety of care. What are notes? Written by doctors, nurses, therapists, and other health professionals, notes describe interactions with patients and are part of the medical record. When these notes are shared with patients, they become open notes. Why share notes? OpenNotes helps patients be more actively engaged in their health care, and research shows that engaged patients get better care. Patients who read their notes report a better understanding of their conditions, feeling more in control of their health and health care, more empowered to make heath care decisions in partnership with their care team. Patients are also able to report inaccuracies in the record, helping to make their care safer. The OpenNotes movement is supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, the Peterson Center on Healthcare and the Cambia Health Foundation, in addition to project-specific grants from CRICO and The Commonwealth Fund of New York.

ICYMI: Michael Millenson wrote a great post on "The Doctors Who’ve Helped Patients Declare Their Independence". Among many trailblazers, Millenson mentioned Tom Delbanco, MD--co-founder of the OpenNotes movement. In addition to Tom, Millenson offers shout outs to the greats of the #ParticipatoryMedicine movement including Don Berwick, Paul Batalden, Leana Wen M.D. M.Sc., Victor Montori, Danny Sands, MD, MPH, and many others. This is worth the read!

We forgive Puneet Seth, MD 🙏 for mispronouncing Cait DesRoches, DrPH's last name in this FANTASTIC interview on the North Of Patient podcast. 😆 In this episode, Puneet explores the early days of OpenNotes (including Cait's skeptical views!), asks how David Attenborough might explain chronic disease, and pops the big question: What's next for #OpenNotes in a world of healthcare #AI???

Nurse Entrepreneur in HealthTech ⌘ CEO of Primary Record ⌘ Passionate advocate for family caregivers ⌘ My mission is to simplify health information for families for better care.
Do you know how to invite or share access to your #patientportal with a family member in case of an emergency? Did you know that, depending on your state, you might lose access to your child’s patient portal when they turn 12-14 years old? Chris Ross and I volunteered to participate in some research OpenNotes was conducting. They asked families to report back on how easy it was to share or invite a family member to their patient portal. Surely a doctor and nurse can figure it out… or can they?! Follow Primary Record to learn more. ⤵️
I get by with a little help from my friends.🎶 We all do...especially when it comes to navigating healthcare!! Whether you're tag teaming with a spouse, a mom managing a kiddo's records, a child helping coordinate care for aging parents...getting shared access to their data is imperative. This week we're going to be discussing shared proxy access. It's something that should be easy but is actually incredibly complicated….even for a nurse and doctor. We hope you'll follow along and engage. Jean Ross, RN and Chris Ross tease what's to come.
