Did you know that new legislation went into effect in April, 2021 that affects the way licensed healthcare providers share information with their clients/patients?
It's called OpenNotes.
If you're in practice, it will affect how you communicate with your clients and potentially how you take notes.
Because it's still very new, we still don't know the full implications of OpenNotes for nutritionists.
At this point, most of us with private practices are doing our best to implement the changes as we understand them.
In this episode, I share a few thoughts on my understanding of the new OpenNotes rules that apply to licensed practitioners.
Please note that these are not meant to be a full and comprehensive guide to OpenNotes for licensed nutritionists, but rather reflections on some changes that I have implemented in my own practice based on the rules, and my interpretation of how they apply.
Consult a lawyer before making changes or decisions about how these rules apply to your own practice!
As mentioned in the episode, I've also written a full review of Practice Better software.
