While the “information blocking” regulations that are included in the Cures Act are informally referred to as the “open notes rule,” the Act does not formally endorse the (non-profit) OpenNotes program. Because OpenNotes has been promoting the benefits of patient access and helping health care providers implement such access across the U.S. for more than 10 years, that program’s website and staff are well-positioned to offer collegial support as the Cures Act takes effect.
