    Hello Everyone

    My fellow MN sister provider associations and I are considering options for our community-based folks to request a waiver from the mandate to create an open-access portal and app (resource hardship exemption). We are wondering if there are strategies from your states in play.

    Do you or your folks have a position or strategy regarding implementation of the "open notes" mandate? 


    Any information you can offer is very appreciated.

    Thank you very much All!

    I'd be grateful if this could be a conversation at an upcoming AE meeting, and if National Council staff could share any steps they're thinking about in terms of policy pushback or implementation technical assistance.

    Our 'position'/'strategy' is to beg our local Medicaid authority to add this to the State Medicaid Health IT Plan, including T.A. and figuring out if any of this can be 'outsourced' to the HIE.
