Abstract
Patient portal secure messaging (asynchronous electronic communication between physicians and their established patients) allows patients to manage their care through asynchronous, direct communication with their providers.
Background
As healthcare delivery has shifted toward patient-centered care, patient portals have become an important health information technology (HIT) that encourages patient engagement by providing access to personal health information.
Methods
We conducted an exploratory qualitative study utilizing focus groups to better understand the way patients with chronic conditions utilize secure messaging within the patient portal.
Results
Among patients with chronic health conditions, thematic analysis of focus group transcripts revealed a major theme around the motivations for using secure messaging to manage a chronic condition. Motivations included the fact that secure messaging is quicker than calling the office and provides direct access to a patient’s physician.
Discussion
This study details the perspectives of patients with chronic conditions on the use of secure messaging via a patient portal for chronic disease management, including motivations for choosing asynchronous electronic communication with a physician, how it is used in care management, and challenges to this type of communication.
Conclusions
This study highlights the potential of patient portal messaging to enhance chronic disease self-management by increasing patients’ timely access to their primary care physicians, reducing the need for frequent office visits, and supporting care coordination. However, patients also expressed concerns about the appropriate use of portal messaging.
