Many envision a US healthcare system that includes the ability to productively engage patients about their health care. Patient portals can serve as a tool to electronically interface with patients and Meaningful Use has explicitly included several areas to address. But just as electronic health records need to work for those at the point of service, so do systems to engage patients.
Lay out a strategy to drive patient adoption by offering compelling functionality that is not included in the Meaningful Use requirements. Include the following elements and provide details and examples of the following:
What specifically might portals do to engage patients?
What types of digital functionalities do you believe patients desire?
Do you believe that patient portals could reduce or aggravate disparities? How and why?
How do you see patient education as a component of portal use?
Include regulations and compliance concerns that a patient and a healthcare facility might have regarding electronic portal use.
Total of 6-8 pages in length. Your paper must be in APA format with no less than level I and level II headings, written in the third person. Minimum of 4 references. Cite references you used on a separate page also in proper APA format.
