Do you know what’s inside your medical record? Ever wonder what your doctor is jotting down during your office visit? For many people, it’s all too easy to leave their health information in the hands of physicians and hospitals, but patient advocates argue that’s a big mistake.

Please join us as we talk about ways patients can move from the sidelines of care to become an engaged and empowered member of their healthcare team with expert guests: Mitchell Adler, MD, assistant professor of medicine at the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell and chief medical information officer at Northwell Health Physician Partners, and Ilene Corina , president and founder of the Pulse Center for Patient Safety Education & Advocacy, a community-based patient safety organization.

The discussion covers OpenNotes, an international movement that is making healthcare more transparent by urging doctors, nurses, therapists, and others to invite patients to read notes they write to describe a visit.
