All participants were supplied with a tablet computer for 1 day during their inpatient stay and assistance with portal registration and initial login as needed. Additionally, intervention group patients received a focused bedside education to demonstrate key functions of the portal and explain the importance of these functions to their upcoming transition to post-discharge care. Our primary outcomes were proportion of patients who logged into the portal and completed specific tasks after discharge. Secondary outcomes were observed ability to navigate the portal before discharge and self-reported patient satisfaction with bedside tablet use to access the portal.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>We enrolled 97 participants (50 intervention; 47 control); overall 57% logged into their portals \u22651 time within 7 days of discharge (58% intervention vs. 55% control). Mean number of logins was higher for the intervention group (3.48 vs. 2.94 control), and mean number of specific portal tasks performed was higher in the intervention group; however, no individual comparison reached statistical significance. Observed ability to login and navigate the portal in the hospital was higher for the intervention group (64% vs. 60% control), but only 1 specific portal task was significant (view provider messaging tab: 92% vs. 77% control, P\u2009=\u2009.04).
