Independent Ambulatory Patient Portals 2023
Seeking to Empower Patients
Patient portals (tools used by healthcare providers to engage with patients) can greatly influence a patient’s ability to seek and receive care. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, healthcare organizations have become keenly interested in technology that gives patients ownership of their health and enhances office efficiencies. Though KLAS has historically looked at how portals perform in the IDN setting, this report examines the experience of customers in the independent ambulatory space (clinics not owned by a hospital/health system) to share their perspective and help other such organizations understand portals’ impact on patient care.
