Abstrakt: Introduction: Test results are immediately released to patients through patient portals. We characterized patient and provider time-to-review of liver imaging results.
Methods: We identified 401 patients with cirrhosis enrolled in the portal with ≥1 liver imaging. We compared result review times for patients and providers and identified factors associated with rapid review.
Results: The median time-to-review for patients was shorter than providers (3.7 vs 17.6 hours, P < 0.001), with more than half of results reviewed by patients first. Rapid patient review was inversely associated with older age and Hispanic ethnicity.
Discussion: Patients rapidly review imaging results through the portal, often before providers.
