Electronic health record-based portal tools may help patients engage in advance care planning (ACP). We designed and implemented portal-based ACP tools to enable patients to create a medical durable power of attorney (MDPOA).
MDPOA documentation and System Usability Scale were assessed.
Stakeholder-informed portal-based ACP tools include an electronic MDPOA form, patient educational webpage, online messaging, and patient access to completed advance directives.
A total of 2814 patients used the tools over 15 months. Patients had a mean age 45 years (17-98 years) and 69% were women. Eighty-nine percent completed an MDPOA form, 2% called or sent online messages, and 8% viewed the MDPOA form but did not complete it. The tools were rated highly usable.
CONCLUSIONS/LESSONS LEARNED: Patients demonstrated willingness to use the portal to complete an MDPOA and rated the new ACP tools as highly usable. Future work will optimize population-based outreach strategies to engage patients in ACP through the portal.
基于电子健康记录的门户工具可能有助于患者参与预先护理计划(ACP)。我们设计并实施了基于门户的 ACP 工具,使患者能够创建医疗持久授权书(MDPOA)。
评估了 MDPOA 文档和系统可用性量表。
利益相关者知情的基于门户的 ACP 工具包括电子 MDPOA 表格、患者教育网页、在线消息传递以及患者访问已完成的预先指示。
在 15 个月的时间里,共有 2814 名患者使用了这些工具。患者的平均年龄为 45 岁(17-98 岁),其中 69%为女性。89%的患者完成了 MDPOA 表格,2%的患者打电话或发送在线消息,8%的患者查看了 MDPOA 表格但未完成。这些工具的可用性评价很高。
结论/经验教训:患者表现出愿意使用门户来完成 MDPOA,并对新的 ACP 工具评价很高。未来的工作将优化基于人群的外展策略,通过门户让患者参与 ACP。
