Using visit recordings and open notes to improve care experience
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests two ways of sharing what happened at clinic visits—recording visits and using an “open notes” patient portal—to help older adults manage long-term health conditions with a better experience. It’s likely to help if you have multiple chronic conditions and can use email or a patient portal.
