"Patients often forget most of what they've heard after they leave the doctor's office, says Jan Walker, a Beth Israel nurse who is working on the

OpenNotes project. Reading doctors' notes allows patients to review everything at home and share information with family and others who may be involved in their care. "
Naw, that isn't ideal. I think a patient should get a record of what the patient needs to do at home. I always ask the doctors to write instructions down. But simply giving the record isn't helpful. There is too much short hand that most people don't know. I don't know a ton of it.
