Abstract
Electronic health record-based portal tools may help patients engage in advance care planning (ACP). We designed and implemented portal-based ACP tools to enable patients to create a medical durable power of attorney (MDPOA). MDPOA documentation and System Usability Scale were assessed. Stakeholder-informed portal-based ACP tools include an electronic MDPOA form, patient educational webpage, online messaging, and patient access to completed advance directives. A total of 2814 patients used the tools over 15 months. Patients had a mean age 45 years (17-98 years) and 69% were women. Eighty-nine percent completed an MDPOA form, 2% called or sent online messages, and 8% viewed the MDPOA form but did not complete it. The tools were rated highly usable. Patients demonstrated willingness to use the portal to complete an MDPOA and rated the new ACP tools as highly usable. Future work will optimize population-based outreach strategies to engage patients in ACP through the portal.
