OpenNotes
OpenNotes is a project to lower the barriers for patients access to their own medical records.[1]
OpenNotes specifically seeks to make the notes written casually by physicians, and which are not part of the formal medical record, available.[2]
In the Pacific Northwest of the United States, the clinics Kaiser Permanente Northwest, Legacy Health, The Vancouver Clinic, Oregon Health & Science University, Providence Medical Group Oregon, The Portland Clinic, Portland Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Salem Health, and OCHIN participate in the OpenNotes project.[3][4]
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation funds the OpenNotes project.[5]
