Elevating Patient Engagement: Implementing EHR-Integrated Medication Reminders for Kidney Transplant Patients

Stud Health Technol Inform. 2024 Aug 22:316:68-72. doi: 10.3233/SHTI240348.

Abstract

Digital health can enhance self-management of patients such as usage of medication reminders, thereby improving health outcomes. However, for successful implementation of such interventions, integration with the electronic health record (EHR) is useful. We evaluated the implementation of an integrated patient portal medication reminder tool in kidney transplant patients. Overall, 40.5% of the patients agreed that integrated EHR medication reminders assisted them in taking their medication on time.
