Insights into older adult patient concerns around the caregiver proxy portal use: qualitative interview study.
The objective of this study was to examine how older adult patients perceive the benefits and risks of proxy patient portal access by their caregivers. The investigators concluded that patients shared their electronic patient portal credentials with caregivers to receive the benefits of those caregivers having access to important medical information but were unaware of all the information those caregivers could access. They suggest that better portal design could alleviate these unwanted information disclosures.

Monitoring for change: the role of family and friends in helping older adults manage personal health information.
Although family and friends (FF) often play a significant support role in the health of older adults (OA), little is known about their role in personal health information management (PHIM). To address this gap and inform the design of PHIM tools, the investigators described the work, needs, and barriers of FF in the context of PHIM for OAs.
