Randomized Controlled Trial
Effect of Personalized Messages Sent by a Health System's Patient Portal on Influenza Vaccination Rates: a Randomized Clinical Trial.
Adult influenza vaccination rates are low. Tailored patient reminders might raise rates. ⋯ Patient reminders sent by a health system's patient portal that were tailored to patient demographics (young adults, older adults, diabetes) and that incorporated two behavioral economic messaging strategies (pre-commitment and loss/gain framing) were not effective in raising influenza vaccination rates.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Predictors and Reasons Why Patients Decline to Participate in Home Hospital: a Mixed Methods Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial.
Acute care at home ("home hospital") compared to traditional hospital care has been shown to lower cost, utilization, and readmission and improve patient experience and physical activity. Despite these benefits, many patients decline to enroll in home hospital. ⋯ Patients who declined to enroll in a home hospital intervention had similar sociodemographic characteristics as enrollees except partner status and declined most often for perceptions surrounding safety at home and the ease of remaining in the hospital.
