dc.description.abstractThe intention of this research study is to encourage clinical facilities that do not have a patient portal system, to encourage them to adapt one for their facility or to upgrade outdated patient portal when necessary. Patient portal systems, now more than ever, are a powerful tool for patients to be able to keep track of their health. Despite the many reasons to adopt a patient portal system, many practices are still reluctant to provide a patient portal system for their patients, in fear that they may be making the right investment or may be jeopardizing their provider-patient relationship. The question this research will answer is, Is patient turnout and satisfaction positively impacted based on the adoption of a patient portal within a healthcare facility? In order to answer this questions, It is important to research what patients want out of a patient portal and how patient portals can increase patient satisfaction. Ultimately patient satisfaction is correlated to an increased number of patients/new patients.An increased number of patients generally means a potential increase in revenue. To do this research Lifeline Primary Care Clinic was chosen which is a clinic that has switched through three patient portals over the years; e-clinicalworks, Healow app (after merging with eclinicalworks in 2014) and AthenaHealth. The clinic has also expanded into other locations as well. Thus making this clinic an ideal facility for the proposed research. Another factor of choosing this clinic was due to the vast data the clinic has produced that is relevant to this research and health IT overall. In order to start the research process, a literature review was conducted in regards to the patient portal, as well as how they were perceived by both patients and healthcare providers. Upon reviewing the relevant articles on the topic, a methodology was mapped out to be able to collect patient data from each portal implementation and transition to be able to detect whether or not each transition had increased number of current and new patients due to the potential decrease in phone times by the staff with the portals having appointment and messaging systems. The data from these findings would then be compiled in an excel spreadsheet to show upward or stagnant trends in a line graph. Along with this, survey questions were generated through surveymonkey.com to be able to assess patient satisfaction by the current and by past patient portals based on preferences. Another survey was also created for the medical staff as well, in order to see the staff�s perception on patient portals and if the patient portals have impacted their workload in a positive manner or not.
