As health systems continue to prioritize access, engagement, and outcomes, organizations face growing pressure to create meaningful digital experiences that connect patients more effectively to their care—often with limited resources. Patient portal adoption has become a critical driver of patient engagement, enabling convenient access to health information, strengthening communication, and supporting more coordinated care throughout the patient journey. In this session, attendees will explore how a strategic, structured approach to patient portal adoption can increase patient engagement, elevate care experiences, and contribute to measurable improvements in access and outcomes. Through practical guidance and real‑world considerations, the discussion will highlight where organizations can focus their efforts to build stronger digital connections with patients and support long‑term engagement success.
