A Mixed-Methods Human Factors Evaluation of Patient Heath Portals in Diabetes.
FY 2013-14
Summary
Canada has committed to providing online, electronic health records for all Canadians. Personal health portals are online tools that will allow patients to access their own health information such as blood test results and details from hospital admissions. In 2014, Alberta will be one of the first provinces to provide personal health portals to its residents. We plan to conduct a complex and multi-dimensional evaluation to determine how well patients with a common chronic disease- diabetes- use the portal and identify possible challenges with this electronic tool in personal and clinical settings. We are working closely with the the health ministry in Alberta to ensure our results lead to a more useable, effective tool for patients.
