Statement of Purpose
Inpatient portals (IPPs) have been developed for use on electronic tablets as part of the delivery of care during a patient’s hospital stay and offer a suite of features appropriate to the inpatient care process. IPPs have the potential to empower patients during hospitalization, a time during which they may feel acutely vulnerable to their health condition. As a result, IPPs are seen as transformative to the inpatient care experience.
Most research on patient portals focuses on the outpatient experience. It is important to study inpatient use of IPPs to understand who uses IPPs and how IPPs are used. Identifying and characterizing different groups of users may help providers and organizations to better communicate and work collaboratively with patients based on different portal use patterns.
Target Audience
The target audience for this activity is professionals and students interested in biomedical and health informatics.
Learning Objectives
The general learning objective for all of the JAMIA Journal Club webinars is that participants will
- Use a critical appraisal process to assess article validity and to gauge article findings' relevance to practice
After this live activity, the participant should be better able to:
- Relate findings in this study to inpatient portal (IPP) design, IPP user instruction, and inpatient-care team communication
