Open notes or the 21st Century Cures ACT introduces a brave new world of sharing the whole medical record immediately with our patients. In this episode we discuss with an informatics specialist what this mandate is, what the exceptions are, and why this can be good for us and our patients.  Let us know how Open Notes is going for you and your tips for other note writers.
