OpenNotes is an international movement dedicated to promoting transparency and openness in healthcare. Their mission is to encourage doctors, nurses, therapists, and other healthcare professionals to share their visit notes with patients. Through research and education, OpenNotes identifies and disseminates best practices for sharing medical information with patients and their care partners.

They offer various initiatives and programs to achieve this goal, including educating young health professionals on open and transparent communication, working to embed the practice of open notes into the culture of medicine through learning collaboratives, and bringing open notes to a broad variety of patients in New York State. OpenNotes also provides resources for healthcare professionals to implement open notes effectively and offers support for patients and care partners to utilize and benefit from open notes. With a focus on enhancing communication, building trust, and improving patient safety, OpenNotes strives to make healthcare more patient-centered and collaborative
