In many countries allowing patients access to physician progress notes regarding their care is not only considered important for improving patient engagement but is a legal requirement. While most efforts and analysis have been focused on providing such access in the outpatient setting comparatively little is known about the impacts in the inpatient setting.. Furthermore, in a country like Argentina with its own healthcare model where no such access, in either inpatient or outpatient settings, has ever been given before, at any level, implementing open progress notes will require a systematic approach that considers providers fears and expectations. This qualitative study explores Internists’ general perceptions on opening progress notes to patients during inpatient hospitalization.
