About this study
A large-scale randomized control trial (RCT) of the impact and use of an inpatient tablet-based patient portal embedded in a larger mixed methods study to examine changes in patient experiences and outcomes, and subsequent ambulatory patient portal usage.
Read the detailed description
The appropriate use of technology to actively engage with patients who suffer from multiple chronic conditions, called multimorbidity, is one of the frontiers of both research and practice. For multimorbid patients, engagement in disease management activities is particularly critical, and evidence shows that enhanced patient self-management can lead to better control of chronic illness. One tool finding increasing use is the patient portal, and its pervasiveness is supported by virtue of its role as a component of the Meaningful Use criteria. A patient portal is a tethered personal health record (tPHR) that links to the patient's electronic health record, facilitating communication and engagement activities with healthcare providers. While most tPHRs have been focused on outpatient activities, a new class of tools focused on the inpatient experience has begun deployment in 2014.
In response, this study supports the conduct of the first, large-scale randomized control trial (RCT) of the impact and use of an inpatient tablet-based patient portal embedded in a larger mixed methods study to examine changes in patient experiences and outcomes, and subsequent ambulatory patient portal usage. The investigators aim to study how access to a patient portal tailored to the inpatient stay can improve patient experience and increase patient engagement by improving patients' perception of the process of care while in the hospital (patient experience), increasing patients' self-efficacy for managing their chronic conditions (patient engagement), and facilitating use of a patient portal for care management activities after discharge (patient engagement).
The study site is a world-class healthcare facility with the ability to provide access to a patient portal designed specifically for the inpatient experience, bridging to outside the hospital after discharge.
Currently, this inpatient technology exists in only one other hospital in the US, but the investigators expect that as inpatient PHRs become more readily available, the need for clarity on this issue will only increase. The investigator's evaluation is a mixed-methods design consisting of primary data collection through surveys and interviews throughout the study period, and secondary data collection from the electronic health record and health system metadata. This study will offer insight into a potentially important mechanism to facilitate patient self-management.

Participants receives a visit from a "patient navigator" who helps to explain how to navigate the hospital system (active control).
High TechOther
Patient receives full-suite access to an inpatient patient portal with bi-directional communication enabled.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Inpatient Portal Use Frequency
The count of MyChart Bedside (inpatient portal) sessions for the admission associated with study enrollment.
Measured: At hospital discharge.
Inpatient Portal Comprehensiveness of Use
Based on the use of all available MyChart Bedside (inpatient portal) functions, a comprehensive inpatient portal user was one who used all three functions - for patients in the low tech assignment - or used eight or more functions - for patients in the high tech assignment.
Measured: At hospital discharge.
Inpatient Portal Functions Proportion of Use
For each MyChart Bedside (inpatient portal) function available to patients assigned to high tech, a proportion of total use is calculated for each patient as the sum of actions in a given function divided for the total sum of user actions during the hospital admission associated with study enrollment.
Measured: At hospital discharge.
Patient Satisfaction With Care - Responses From Healthcare Professionals
Questions from the satisfaction and experience domains of the 15-day Post-discharge surveys were used to assess patient satisfaction with their care. Answers to the following 5-point Likert scale survey item were explored: "In your most recent hospital experience, how satisfied were you with how well your healthcare professionals responded to your concerns? ". Responses were dichotomized to one "most positive" response versus all other responses.
Measured: 15 days after discharge
Patient Satisfaction With Care - Interactions With Healthcare Professionals
Questions from the satisfaction and experience domains of the 15-day Post-discharge surveys were used to assess patient satisfaction with their care. Answers to the following 5-point Likert scale survey item were explored: "In your most recent hospital experience, how satisfied were you with the interactions you had with your healthcare professionals? ". Responses were dichotomized to one "most positive" response versus all other responses.
Measured: 15 days after discharge
Patient Satisfaction With Care - Responses From Healthcare Professionals

Responses were dichotomized to one "most positive" response versus all other responses.
Measured: 6 months after discharge

Responses were dichotomized to one "most positive" response versus all other responses.
Measured: 15 days after discharge.
Patient Involvement With Care - Finding Answers to Health Management Questions

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing High Touch, Low Touch and High Tech in people with Physician-Patient Relations and Inpatient Facility Diagnoses, run by Ohio State University at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jul 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Jul 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Inpatient Portal Use Frequency (time frame: At hospital discharge.). The study lists 10 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02943109, which also lists 3 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
