问题    Some doctors are taking an unusual new approach to communicate better with patients—they are letting【C1】______read the notes that physicians normally share only with each other.
   After meeting with patients, doctors typically jot【C2】______notes on a range of topics, from musings about possible diagnoses to observations about【C3】______ a patient is getting a- long with a spouse. The notes are used to justify the bill, and may be audited. But the main idea is to have a written record【C4】______insights into the patient’ s condition for the next visit or for other doctors to see.
   A study currently under way,【C5】______the OpenNotes project, is looking at what happens【C6】______doctors-notes become available for a patient to read, usually【C7】______e- lectronic medical records. In a report on the early stages of the study, published Tuesday in the Annals of Internal Medicine, researchers say that inviting patients to review the【C8】______can improve patients understanding of their own health and get them to stick to their treatment regimens【C9】______closely.
   But researchers also point to possible downsides: Patients may panic if their doctor speculates 【C10】______writing about cancer or heart disease, leading to a flood of follow-up calls and emails. And doctors say they worry that some medical terms can be taken the【C11】______way by patients. For instance,【C12】______phrase "the patient appears SOB"【C13】______ to shortness of breath, not a derogatory designation. And OD is short for oculus dexter, or right eye,【C14】______for overdose.
   Medical providers have been stepping up efforts to improve doctor-patient communication, in part【C15】______studies show it can result in better patient outcomes. The introduction of electronic medical records in recent years has helped to achieve that.
【C15】
