Informing Policy to Implement Pediatric Family Engagement in Meaningful Use Stage 3

Study Summary

This study will enroll parents/guardians of children who receive treatment at one of the pediatric primary care practice settings in the Pediatric Research in Office Settings (PROS) network or at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia's Pediatric Research Consortium (PeRC) network. The study will use an evidence-based conceptual model to study determinants of implementation success, implementation outcomes, and health care outcomes resulting from implementing an already functional, electronic health record (EHR)-linked asthma portal, MyAsthma. The study will measure the portal's feasibility and determine the impact on providing asthma education and fostering patient engagement as well as the ability to collect patient-reported outcomes for children, evaluate medication use and side effects and track parents' preferences and goals.

Primary Outcome

Implementation success was measure by comparing the of the number of enrolled families (parent/guardian) who logged on to the MyAsthma Portal once (adoption) with the number of enrolled families (parent/guardian) who logged on more than once (sustained use). Parents/guardians were asked to log on and complete the same survey on the MyAsthma Portal 3 times during a 6 month period.
