Older adults' experience using patient portals in communities: challenges and opportunities.
The purpose of this study was to assess the perceived usability of patient portals currently used by older adults. 272 older adults were recruited from an online trial testing the effects of a 3-week Theory-Based Patient Portal eLearning Program. Self-efficacy and perceived usability of patient portals were both low; difficulties with using patient portals were primarily associated with login/access and specific portal functions. Favored features were review of medical information and eMessaging.
