Key result
An e-health platform delivered during hospitalization achieved a 98% completion rate for patient self-assessments, which were predictive of length of stay and discharge disposition.
Why the study?
Does an e-health platform delivering personalized care plans and self-assessments achieve high patient engagement and predict resource use in cardiac surgical patients over age 50?

Cook et al. (2013) studied Cardiac surgery (n=149). e-health platform (iPads with personalized care plan) was evaluated on Completion rates for the self-assessments. An e-health platform delivered during hospitalization achieved a 98% completion rate for patient self-assessments, which were predictive of length of stay and discharge disposition.
