NYS Health Foundation Grant Supports NewYork Quality Care Roll Out of OpenNotes to 30,000+ Patients
Some 30,000 patients enrolled in NewYork Quality Care, the Accountable Care Organization (ACO) of NewYork-Presbyterian, Columbia University Medical Center and Weill Cornell Medicine, will now be able to view their physician’s appointment notes in order to better understand their care. The initiative, called OpenNotes, is funded in part by a grant from the New York State Health Foundation.
“We believe in providing high-quality care with transparency for our patients,” said Dr. Paul Casale, executive director of NewYork Quality Care. “With this grant from the New York State Health Foundation, we will be able to roll out OpenNotes for patients, which will empower them to take greater control over their care.” . . .
