Older adults' use of patient portals: experiences, challenges, and suggestions shared through discussion board forums.
The goal of this study was to explore older adults' experiences with using patient portals (PPs), perceived impact of PPs on their health, and suggestions for improvement through analysis of discussion posts. The research team had previously developed an older-adult-friendly Theory-based PP eLearning Program (T-PeP), and tested its impact on older adults with chronic conditions. Findings from 10 major themes explained older adults' experiences with PPs and offered suggestions for vendors and healthcare organizations.
