Patient portals, or tethered personal health records(PHRs), are an increasingly prevalent way for patients to access their own health records and engage in their own care. However, research documents that many vulnerable patient subgroups are significantly less likely to use patient portals (1,2).

Significance

Studies suggest that use of patient portals can increase medication accuracy and safety(3) and improve quality outcomes(4)

Groups Less Likely to Use Portals

Interventions to Increase Use
