Metrics for outpatient portal use based on log file analysis: algorithm development.
This study’s goal was to document the functionality of an outpatient portal in the context of outpatient care by mining portal usage data and to provide insights into how patients use this tool. The authors developed a taxonomy of functions and actions and computed analytic metrics, including frequency and comprehensiveness of use. They found that function use was comprehensive at the patient level, while each session was instead limited to the use of one specific function. They hope to promote the replicability of their study at other institutions and to contribute to the establishment of best practices that can facilitate the adoption of behavioral metrics that enable the measurement of patient engagement based on the outpatient portal use.

Facilitators and barriers to recruiting ambulatory oncology practices into a large multisite study: mixed methods study.
The authors of this article aimed to describe the facilitators and barriers to recruiting ambulatory oncology practices into a large multisite study. They used a mixed methods design and 4 domains of the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research to describe facilitators and barriers to recruitment. They identified numerous recruitment barriers and facilitators and devised strategies to enhance recruitment efforts. They concluded that researchers and clinicians can partner effectively to design and implement research protocols that ultimately benefit patients who are increasingly seeking care in ambulatory practices.
