Summary

This interdisciplinary, international collaboration study, including the the Norwegian Health Economy Administration (HELFO) will evaluate the effectiveness and real-world implementation of an online patient-provider communication (OPPC) service into rout ine practice. In Phase I we will identify patients and care providers requirements and organizational contexts, and use participatory design methods to adapt the OPPC service to users needs and the context of clinical practice. In Phase II we will offer study participants access to the OPPC service to understand implementation issues. In addition, we will conduct a pilot randomized clinical trial (usual care; OPPC) with 40 patients in each group that will be followed over 6 months.
