Transforming patient-centered care: development of the evidence informed decision making through engagement model.
The purpose of this article is to set forth a new patient-centered implementation model informed by a qualitative study that explored women’s decisions, perceptions, and experiences of elective induction of labor. Through a process of theory evaluation and development, the authors explore patient-centered concepts (patient activation and shared decision making) within an implementation model by mapping qualitative data from an elective induction of labor study to assess the model’s ability to capture these key concepts.

A proposed 'health literate care model' would constitute a systems approach to improving patients' engagement in care.
The researchers proposed a Health Literate Care Model that would weave health literacy strategies into the widely adopted Care Model (formerly known as the Chronic Care Model). Their new model calls for approaching all patients with the assumption that they are at risk of not understanding their health conditions or how to deal with them, and then confirming and ensuring patients' understanding. They suggested that health literacy would then become an organizational value infused into all aspects of planning and operations. They also proposed a measurement framework to track the impact of the new Health Literate Care Model on patient outcomes and quality of care.
