Physician perception of the role of the patient portal in pediatric health.
Little information regarding physician opinion of the patient portal is available, with almost no information gathered in the pediatric environment. Using a mixed-methods approach, physicians in a large pediatric medical facility and integrated delivery network were surveyed by online quantitative questionnaire and structured interviews. Physicians reported the portal's role in more communication efficiency for patients, parents, and providers.

BMT roadmap: a user-centered design health information technology tool to promote patient-centered care in pediatric HCT.
“BMT Roadmap" is a web-based application that integrates patient-specific information and includes several domains. In this study, BMT Roadmap was provided to 10 caregivers of patients undergoing first-time hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) . Caregivers found the tool useful and easy-to-use, leading them to want even greater access to information. BMT Roadmap was feasible, with no disruption to inpatient care.

Adoption of a portal for the primary care management of pediatric asthma: a mixed-methods implementation study.
The researchers evaluated the feasibility of using a patient portal for pediatric asthma in primary care. Fewer than three percent of those families invited to enroll used the portal. The authors found that although use of the portal was associated with higher treatment engagement, their results suggested that achieving widespread portal adoption is unlikely in the short term.

A virtual childhood obesity collaborative: satisfaction with online continuing education.
This descriptive study evaluated school-based health center (SBHC) providers’ satisfaction with Web based continuing education as part of a virtual childhood obesity intervention. Participation in the first two learning sessions was higher than the last two. Provider satisfaction of training modules by question type and content area was quite high. Many providers also reported plans to make changes in their practice after completing the training.
