Socioeconomic Disparities in Online Patient Portal Utilization Among Total Knee Arthroplasty Recipients

Since 2021, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services have mandated that patients have open access to their medical records.

Our research aimed to evaluate demographic patterns for online patient portal utilization in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Further, we assessed if and how portal engagement contributes to perioperative outcomes.
