patients to have access to physicians notes

Recently told at work that patients will have access to their entire charts including notes and labs/imagings and sometimes, because even reviewed by the physicians. That this was a national rule. Anyone else going through similar changes? How are you planning on dealing with this? will it increase risk of malpractice lawsuits?
