Potential of patient portals to enhance adolescent asthma care engagement.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Electronic health record-based patient portals hold promise for health care transition (HCT), particularly for chronic conditions like asthma.

Objective

To understand the potential of a portal-based asthma care management module in adolescent patients with asthma and evaluate its performance and usability.

Methods

We completed semi-structured interviews to determine adolescent perceptions of a portal-based asthma care module and its potential for HCT. We prototype tested a portal-based asthma management module with adolescent patients (12-17 years old) with asthma for their upcoming pediatric pulmonary clinic visits and measured its performance and usability. We reported descriptive statistics for survey data, and content analysis for interviews.
