Access to nursing notes in psychiatry.

With increasing legislation allowing patients the legal right to see their health care records, health care professionals need to consider the practical implications of such rulings. This six-month study on open access to patients' nursing notes was completed prior to the Access to Health Records Act 1990, and demonstrates that despite concerns at the outset, a proactive open access policy to nursing notes can increase therapeutic opportunities if properly implemented. The findings will prove valuable to those finding problems complying with the new regulations.
