Abstract

This scoping review examined how research on patient portals addresses health equity. “Health equity” means that people get the health care and resources needed to support their health, and are not disadvantaged because of socio-economic factors (e.g., gender, race, ethnicity, income, etc.). The main focus on barriers in patient portal research may be unintentionally placing responsibility with the patient populations already experiencing the most health inequities.
