A Patient-Centered Approach to Writing Ambulatory Visit Notes in the Cures Act Era

A Patient-Centered Approach to Writing Ambulatory Visit Notes in the Cures Act Era. Lam, B. D., Dupee, D., Gerard, M., & Bell, S. K. Applied Clinical Informatics, 14(01):199–204, January, 2023.

Paper doi abstract bibtex

Today’s clinicians practice in an environment that is different than the one in which they learned. Managing the uncertainty around new transparent documentation practices can feel overwhelming, especially in time-constrained settings. But federally mandated information sharing means clinical informaticist leaders and medical educators need to take steps to prepare clinicians. Our proposed patient-centered approach to writing notes is derived from research on how patients experience note-reading and focuses on leveraging beneﬁts while minimizing risks (►Table 1).
