Patients' views about patient engagement and representation in healthcare governance.
Researchers used surveys to assess the importance of patient representation. Their analysis of free-text responses illuminated why patient representatives are important, keys to successful engagement, and reasons behind the skepticism. They conclude that most patients believe representation in health system governance is important, and that realizing its potential requires engagement activities that improve general patients' awareness of, and interaction with, their representatives.

Disparities in patient-reported interest in web-based patient portals: survey at an urban academic safety-net hospital.
Offering hospitalized patients' enrollment into a health system's patient portal may improve patient experience and engagement throughout the care continuum, especially across care transitions, but this process is less studied than portal engagement in the ambulatory setting. The objective of this study was to evaluate sociodemographic characteristics associated with interest in a health care system's portal among hospitalized patients and reasons for no interest.

An inpatient HIV support nurse to promote engagement in outpatient HIV care.
In this paper, the investigators describe an inpatient HIV support nurse to promote engagement in outpatient HIV care. It provides two case reports and a discussion. The investigators indicate that their hospital has employed an RN specializing in HIV care coordination for more than a decade on their dedicated HIV unit and has recently created a position to extend this work to PLWH who have been admitted to the 42 other adult units in their hospital.
