Enhancing Access to Patient Education Information: A Pilot Usability Study |
Beaudoin DE, Rocha RA, Tse T |
Proceedings of AMIA Symposium Poster 2005:892. |
Health care organizations are developing Web-based portals to provide patient access to personal health information and enhance patient-provider communication. This pilot study investigates two navigation models (serial and menu-driven) for improving access to education materials available through a portal. There was a trend toward greater user satisfaction with the menu-driven model. Model preference was influenced by frequency of Web use. Results should aid in the improvement of existing portals and in the development of new ones. |
