•Co-production is about provider-beneficiary partnerships to optimize healthcare.•PiSCES, the Irish epilepsy patient portal, aims to foster greater coproduction.•What epilepsy care beneficiaries and providers value about PiSCES was examined.•Participants found access their healthcare record via PiSCES empowering.•PiSCES is seen as a potential passport of care between different clinical settings. Coproduced epilepsy care sees people with epilepsy (PwE), their care-proxies, and healthcare providers (HCPs), working together as partners to build strong relationships, improve communication, trust, and share decision-making. Coproduction underpins good quality patient- and family-centered care (PFCC) that is responsive to individual patient needs, preferences, and values. By facilitating information sharing and exchange between partners, electronic patient portals (ePortal) can enable coproduction. This paper explores what HCPs, PwE, and their care-proxies value from their user experience of PiSCES, the Irish epilepsy ePortal. A purposeful sample of actors involved in the receipt and delivery of epilepsy care and services were recruited via adult epilepsy centers at St James’s and Beaumont Hospitals in Dublin. Interactive codesign sessions, surveys, and focus groups were used to elicit perspectives from PwE, care-proxies, and HCPs to understand their perception of how PiSCES could enhance or inhibit the epilepsy care process. Results illustrate that participants welcome the role PiSCES can play in: empowering PwE/care-proxies, strengthening confidence in the healthcare system; aiding memory; advancing health literacy, motivating PwE to understand their condition better; acting as a passport of care between different clinical settings; and creating a foundation for stronger coproduction partnerships. PiSCES was generally embraced; however, some HCPs expressed plausible concerns about how clinical implementation might impact their work practices. “Nothing about me without me” is a core value of the PiSCES initiative, recognizing that people need to be included in the planning of their own treatment and care. Our data show that PwE, their care-proxies, and HCPs value PiSCES potential, particularly in bolstering healthcare partnerships that foster inclusion, confidence, and trust.
