Shifting Mindsets: The Impact of a Patient Portal on Functioning and Recovery in a Mental Health Setting

CONCLUSIONS: Collectively, this study suggests that higher use of a portal had no impact, either positive or negative, on mental health outcomes. While it may offer convenience and improved patient satisfaction, adequate support is needed to fully enable these opportunities for patient care. As the type of interaction with the portal was not specifically addressed, future work should focus on looking at ways to support patient engagement and portal usage throughout their care journey.PMID:37644885 | DOI:10.1177/07067437231197060
