Action plans increase advance care planning documentation and engagement among English and Spanish-speaking older adults.

Developing eHealth tools for diverse older adults: Lessons learned from the PREPARE for Your Care Program.

Background/objectives: Electronic Health (eHealth) tools offer opportunities for people to access health information online; yet, most tools are not designed to meet the unique needs of diverse older adults, leading to health disparities. Our goal was to provide guidance for the development of eHealth tools for diverse older populations for use in geriatric care models.

Design: Guidance for eHealth tools was compiled from user design resources and eHealth design literature.
