Care partner engagement in secure messaging between patients with diabetes and their clinicians: cohort study.
This study based on a previous cohort study investigated secure messaging (SM) use among older diabetes patients, exploring the impact of care partners. Analyzing data from a large healthcare system's patient portal, proxy users, mainly older and with lower education, showed higher SM engagement. They initiated SM sooner, had more exchanges, yet didn't bridge existing disparities. Proxy involvement may enhance patient-clinician communication in diabetes care, warranting further research on its impact on clinical outcomes.
