Continuous patient engagement in cardiovascular disease clinical comparative effectiveness research.
The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute has created an Engagement Rubric to guide meaningful engagement in the research process. A 10-step systematic framework to enhance patient engagement throughout the comparative effectiveness research process also has been proposed. This special report identifies the relationship between these two approaches to patient engagement and describes examples of how patients could be engaged in a hypothetical CVD study.

Reliability and validity of the patient activation measure in hospitalized patients.
The objectives of this article are to describe the internal consistency reliability and construct validity of the PAM-13 for hospitalized cardiology and oncology patients and to examine the predictors of low patient activation in the same population. The authors found that patients with unplanned admissions were more likely to have low activation than patients with planned admissions. They also found that PAM-13 was modestly correlated with each of the PROMIS Global Health components: global, physical and mental health. They concluded that this study demonstrates the PAM-13 is a reliable and valid measure for use in the inpatient hospital setting and that type of admission is an important predictor of patient activation.
