A pioneering <scp>EMR</scp> ‐embedded digital health literacy tool reveals healthcare disparities for diverse older adults

Abstract

New EMR-embedded tools enable healthcare systems to assess the ability of patients to navigate and utilize EMR capabilities, such as video telehealth appointments, messaging providers, reviewing labs/radiology reports, and requesting prescriptions. The study identified significant challenges for older patients in navigating EMRs and calls for healthcare systems to better support patient learning.
