Test results are immediately released to patients through patient portals. We characterized patient and provider time-to-review of liver imaging results.
We identified 401 patients with cirrhosis enrolled in the portal with ≥1 liver imaging. We compared result review times for patients and providers and identified factors associated with rapid review.
The median time-to-review for patients was shorter than providers (3.7 vs 17.6 hours, P < 0.001), with more than half of results reviewed by patients first. Rapid patient review was inversely associated with older age and Hispanic ethnicity.
Patients rapidly review imaging results through the portal, often before providers.
检测结果通过患者端口即时向患者发布。我们对患者和医生查看肝脏成像结果的时间进行了特征描述。
我们在门静脉中识别出了 401 名患有肝硬化且至少有 1 次肝脏成像的患者。我们比较了患者和医生查看结果的时间,并确定了与快速查看相关的因素。
患者查看结果的中位时间短于医生(3.7 小时比 17.6 小时,P < 0.001),且有一半以上的结果是患者首先查看的。患者快速查看与年龄较大和西班牙裔有关。
患者通过门户快速查看成像结果,通常在医生之前。
