Crotty engaging patients in new ways from open notes to social media
The document discusses new ways to engage patients through open notes and social media. It describes initial findings from the OpenNotes project that showed patients found value in reading clinical notes. It also outlines how patients use social media to find health information and connect with others. The document argues that healthcare providers can leverage these technologies and concepts to reduce information asymmetry, educate patients, and learn from them to provide more engaging and effective care.

- 15. Weeks after myvisit, I thought, "Wasn't I supposed to look into something?“ I went online immediately. Good thing! It was a precancerous skin lesion my doctor wanted removed (I did). In his notes, the doctor called me "mildly obese." This prompted immediate enrollment in Weight Watchers and daily exercise. I didn't think I had gained that much weight. I’m determined to reverse that comment by my next check-up. If this had been available years ago I would have had my breast cancer diagnosed earlier. A previous doctor wrote in my chart and marked the exact area but never informed me. This potentially could save lives. It really is much easier to show my family who are also my caregivers the information in the notes than to try and explain myself. I find the notes more accurate than my recollections, and they allow my family to understand what is actually going on with my health, not just what my memory decides to store. Patients’ Comments
