University Health believes that open, transparent communication between patients and providers is vital for building trust and strong patient-clinician partnerships. After an office visit, doctors, nurses and other health care providers write notes that summarize important information about you. Once shared with you, it becomes an “open note” and connects other elements in your medical record. Reading these notes enables you to take more control of your health in various ways, including understanding test results, reading medication instructions and feeling more involved in decision-making.
