Maybe the points would be that instead of the patient being able to  
"follow" everything as it is being done (for that it not the  
important part), it is more valuable for the patient to be able to

- look at either the summary of their record (or the summary of the  
visit concerns) after they have been drafted or assembled but before  
they had been actioned, signed or committed and

- to be shown what they should understand, and expect, about what is  
going to happen to them i.e. the tests, or referrals, concerning one  
or more possible diagnoses. This is where the pooling of the "Plan"  
rows across soaP notes could help, together with the patient being  
given a copy of any referral forms. Alternatively the Map of Medicine  
could also be a big help in educating patients.
