OpenNotes: Discussion of Best Practices
Learn from your colleagues about what they are experiencing with the implementation of OpenNotes.

 

 

Discussion Topics:

  • Cures Act/Information Blocking/OpenNotes. A short synopsis of the legislation with potential implications for day-to-day clinical practice.
  • How are hospital systems implementing OpenNotes in Indiana?
  • Do I have to change how I document notes?
  • What does it mean for workflows?
  • What does it mean legally?
  • What are the EHR implications?
  • What will be different for the patient?
  • What are the downstream effects on clinicians?
Implications for transparency, chart documentation, patient understanding, inquiries from patients, patient satisfaction, and accuracy of chart documentation are significant and will impact all clinicians’ workflow.  See the links to two recent JAMA-Network articles for background information.
