Abstract
Background: Test results are immediately released to patients via 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 over half of results reviewed by patients first. Rapid patient review was inversely associated with older age and Hispanic ethnicity. Conclusion: Patients rapidly review imaging results via the portal, often before providers.
