Quantifying experiences with telepractice for aphasia therapy: a text mining analysis of client response data.
The investigators’ goal was to use content analysis (CA) to measure posttreatment satisfaction with a telepractice approach for aphasia treatment. Seventeen persons with aphasia (PWA) received 12 treatment sessions over a 6-week period, after which CA was utilized to explore patient satisfaction with this treatment approach. The investigators concluded that their study demonstrated that CA can be an effective approach for determining satisfaction with aphasia treatment, particularly among PWA with limited verbal abilities.

Informatics opportunities to involve patients in hospital safety: a conceptual model.
This study investigated how hospital inpatients experience undesirable events (UEs) and to see if those present opportunities for new informatics solutions. The authors surveyed 242 patients and caregivers during their hospital stay and asked them open-ended questions about their experiences with UEs. They then developed a 4-stage conceptual model which illustrates inpatient experiences: from when they first encounter UEs, and opportunities to promote inpatients’ participation and engagement in the quality and safety of their care, help healthcare systems learn from inpatient experience, and reduce those harmful events.
