Summary

This study tests whether giving parents of hospitalized children access to their child's medical notes on a bedside tablet helps them get more involved and spot safety issues. About 630 families will be randomly assigned to either use the Bedside Notes tool or receive usual care. Researchers will track how many notes are viewed and whether parents report safety concerns.
