The 21st Century Cures Act covers a wide range of health care initiatives, including a requirement that patients have access to their electronic health record (EHR) information. To meet this requirement, inpatient and outpatient providers can share all USCDI clinical note types with their patients through MyChart. This will give our patients access to their important health care information easily and securely.
What’s Changing
- Use the new Share w/ Patient button in NoteWriter to share the completed note with your patient via their MyChart
- The Share w/ Patient button will be defaulted off.
- Notes are limited to Signed, Completed and/or Attested Physician Notes.
- Medical student and nursing notes are not
- HM, the entity or provider can track shared notes using the new Shared Notes Clarity report for audit purposes.
- Note types include:
- Consultation Notes
