Parent-reported outcomes of a shared decision-making portal in asthma: a practice-based RCT.
This study evaluated the feasibility, acceptability, and impact of MyAsthma, an EHR-linked patient portal supporting shared decision-making for pediatric asthma. It found that parents of children with moderate to severe persistent asthma used the portal more than others; 92 percent were satisfied with MyAsthma. Parents reported that use improved their communication with the office, ability to manage asthma, and awareness of the importance of ongoing attention to treatment.
