OpenNotes, a nonprofit initiative that encourages patients to review healthcare providers' notes in their electronic health records, offers a complimentary toolkit with step-by-step strategies for implementing a culture of open note sharing in healthcare facilities.
The toolkit offers resources for clinicians on how to write transparent notes, a tip sheet for patients on how to maximize the use of open notes and surveys for researchers to gage how note sharing is impacting the facility.
