Are Notes only in MIMIC-IV and does "not publicly available" mean even after access is granted?

[mjturtora]

A colleague recommended MIMIC-III Notes but I only see MIMIC-IV. That would be fine for a project I am working on but the MIMIC-IV Notes pages has this...note (sorry):

MIMIC-Note is currently not publicly available and the structure is subject to change.

MIMIC-IV Note

I am a NOOB, clearly so I apologize for my naive question but can I take that at face value? Is it possible for a researcher to use Notes data once they have been granted access?

Is there a MIMIC-III Notes Module that is available? (and this is the reason I posted in the general discussion)

I may request access anyway, but my project involves using NLP/LLMs on physician consult notes so I'm not sure there is much point in going through the approval process.

Any insight/advice would be greatly appreciated.
