Our study findings suggest that access to health care, along with ongoing patient health needs, influence the usage of patient portal platforms. Patients with health insurance have the opportunity to access health care services, including establishing a relationship with a primary care provider. This relationship can be critical to a patient ever creating a patient portal account and actively engaging in their care, including communicating with their care team.
