Answer :
Providers may be reluctant to use a patient portal due to c. time constraints.
Documenting and storing data not only requires the appropriate technology but also comes with costs in the form of the users' time: time that not everyone may be willing to devote. Additionally, integrating patient portals requires training for staff, which further consumes valuable time that could be used for direct patient care.
Therefore, one significant reason providers may be hesitant is the loss of staff time and personal time which can be substantial, making time management a critical barrier in adopting these technologies.
