Barriers To Patient Electronic Portal Usage, Debbie Hoza
Applied Research Projects
This paper focuses on the barriers that patients have as to why they do not use their electronic patient portal. The literature suggests that the age and socioeconomic status of the individual has a big impact on the use of the electronic portals. A review of the literature showed that all populations have not been represented. This study surveys a broader range of patients including all ages, genders, education and socioeconomic statuses to see what barriers that this broader range of patients has to using their electronic portals.
