Abstract Details

2016, MS, University of Cincinnati, Education, Criminal Justice, and Human Services: Health Education.
The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between MyChart activation status and cardiometabolic risk factors (i.e., body mass index [BMI], blood pressure [BP], and smoking status) among adult patients seen at UC Health ambulatory outpatient facilities. The subsequent research questions were examined: 1) What percent of participants reported having an activated account status? 2) Does activated account status differ based on sex, age, BMI, diastolic BP, and smoking status? 3) Does activated account status differ based on BMI, diastolic BP, and tobacco smoking above and beyond demographic covariates? 4) Does the number of logins differ based on BMI, diastolic BP, and tobacco smoking above and beyond demographic covariates? The study consisted of adult patients (n = 200,722) who had an office appointment at one of UC Health’s ambulatory locations between June 1, 2014 to June 1, 2015. Multivariable regression analyses indicated that overweight patients were significantly more likely to have an active MyChart account compared to normal weight counterparts, but patients with prehypertensive BP were significantly less likely to have an active account compared to those with normal BP. Former smokers were significantly less likely to have an activate account compared to patients who never smoked. Further, obese patients had a greater likelihood of logging into their MyChart account compared to normal BMI patients (ß = 2.65), but individuals with a prehypertensive BP were significantly less likely to log into their MyChart account compared to normal range BP counterparts (ß = -1.20). The study also found that active smokers were five times likelier to log into their MyChart account than never smokers (ß = 5.10). Health care organizations and employees should consider these findings when developing strategies for MyChart enrollment and utilization.
