Since research demonstrates benefits of PP engagement in healthcare, increasing PP enrollment is timely to safely bridge care during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and beyond. However, some results are mixed. While limitations require consideration, this QI project suggests practice-based interventions that may increase PP enrollment as the first step towards PP engagement to improve outcomes. Further PP research in vulnerable populations is needed for modifications to address health disparities. 000009127 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000009127 650__ $$aQuality Improvement$$039456 000009127 650__ $$aPatient Portals$$012051 000009127 650__ $$aMental Health$$022046 000009127 691__ $$aSchool of Nursing$$041370 000009127 7001_ $$aFernandez-Kong, Kristen$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009127 8564_ $$9ea1bc201-a505-4d9f-9260-101f68554e5e$$s311508$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/9127/files/FernandezKong.Kristen.2021.pdf 000009127 905__ $$a/rest/prod/pz/50/gw/74/pz50gw74q 000009127 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:9127$$pstudent-work 000009127 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
