The Federal 21st Century Cures Act makes it easier for patients to access their medical records by requiring health care clinicians to provide “open notes”. This is a system where patients can readily obtain information about their symptoms, conditions, plan of care and treatments. It is important for older persons, family caregivers and professionals who work with them to understand what open notes are and how to help older persons utilize them effectively.
