In today’s medical world, doctors don’t always have the time that patients need. Technology and insurance have changed the medical landscape over the past few decades, some things for the better, and some, for the worse. To improve communication, a new trend within doctor-patient relationships has emerged. A program called Open Notes allows medical professionals to share medical notes with clients. Researchers track subsequent responses and actions from patients, studying positive and negative health-related outcomes. With nearly five million participating patients since 2010, this trend has revealed several pros and cons.
Praise for the Open Notes program has by far outweighed any criticism. Many doctors claim it has encouraged patient involvement and helped eliminate breakdowns in communication.
Despite the positive responses to note sharing, physicians do relay some concerns as well.
