Earlier research has shown rapid growth in the use of MHAV portal messaging amongst surgeons in the initial years of after patient portal deployment with significant variation across all clinical specialties and surgical subspecialties. [16, 17] This study corroborates the persistent variability in the use of messaging across surgical specialties and demonstrates shifts in the utilization of messaging beyond the early adoption phase of patient portals.
This study provides evidence that after patient portal deployment, adoption of secure messaging can increase markedly in a short period of time, not just in primary care or medical disciplines, but across a wide variety of clinical specialties.
Objective: Patient portals are online applications that allow patients to interact with healthcare organizations. Portal adoption is increasing, and secure messaging between patients and healthcare providers is an emerging form of outpatient interaction. Research about portals and messaging has focused on medical specialties.
Secure patient-provider messaging is one of the most popular functions of patient portals [32, 46, 53, 54]. Secure messaging is a function that can be attributed to a particular clinical specialty, namely, the specialty of the provider exchanging messages with a patient.
As more countries adopt electronic means of delivering health care directly to patients, secure messaging may emerge as a common form of outpatient care delivery. 2. Objectives
Patient portal secure messaging (asynchronous electronic communication between physicians and their established patients) allows patients to manage their care through asynchronous, direct communication with their providers.
The Benefits of a Patient Portal You can access all of your personal health information from all of your providers in one place. If you have a team of providers, or see specialists regularly, they can all post results and reminders in a portal. Providers can see what other treatments and advice you are getting.
