NEJM Catalyst Article: Covid-19 as Innovation Accelerator - Cogenerating Telemedicine Visit Notes with Patients
NEJM Catalyst has published an article, "Covid-19 as Innovation Accelerator: Cogenerating Telemedicine Visit Notes with Patients."
The Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated the use of telemedicine. This paper describes a primary care telemedicine initiative taking place at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC), as well as best practices that can be replicated by healthcare systems across the country. To increase the quality of both telehealth and in person appointments, the hospital’s primary care practice is implementing an initiative called OurNotes. The OurNotes initiative uses software to allow patents to access their medical health records and share notes with their doctor thus making the experience more open and transparent.
