Disparities in patient-reported interest in web-based patient portals: survey at an urban academic safety-net hospital.
Offering hospitalized patients' enrollment into a health system's patient portal may improve patient experience and engagement throughout the care continuum, especially across care transitions, but this process is less studied than portal engagement in the ambulatory setting. The objective of this study was to evaluate sociodemographic characteristics associated with interest in a health care system's portal among hospitalized patients and reasons for no interest.

Brief report: patient activation among urban hospitalized patients with heart failure.
The purpose of this study was to identify whether patient activation is associated with patient-reported health outcomes in an urban and racially diverse inpatient sample of patients with heart failure. The study concluded that patient activation can be easily measured in hospitalized patients with heart failure and is associated with clinically meaningful patient-reported health outcomes.
