Abstract

Medical note sharing enhances patient-physician relationships, increases medication adherence, and improves self-care. However, many institutions do not release medical notes to adolescents, citing poor understanding and patient harm concerns. We evaluated the results of medical note sharing among adolescents with chronic disease and found high satisfaction and adequate comprehension.
