Stimulating comprehensive medication reviews among Medicare Part D beneficiaries.
The authors assessed the impact of a patient engagement intervention utilizing the Medication User Self-Evaluation (MUSE) tool on the completion percentage of comprehensive medication reviews (CMRs) among Medicare Part D beneficiaries. They found that the estimated odds of having a CMR among those who received the MUSE intervention were 2 times that of their counterparts. They concluded that Part D plans could use the MUSE to engage targeted beneficiaries in using pharmacist-provided MTM services.

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.

Systematic inquiry for design of health care information systems: an example of elicitation of the patient stakeholder perspective.
The authors described the application of a theoretical framework to organize qualitative data during a multi-stage research study into patient engagement with electronic health records, thereby more effectively eliciting patient stakeholder needs and goals to inform the design of future health care information systems.

Application of participatory ergonomics to the redesign of the family-centred rounds process.
This study applied a participatory ergonomics (PE) approach to redesigning the family-centred rounds (FCR) process to improve family engagement. Human factors and ergonomics (HFE) principles were integrated in both the content and process of FCR redesign. The authors described activities of the PE process and presented data on PE process evaluation. They concluded that to demonstrate the value of PE-based FCR redesign, future research should document its impact on FCR process measures and patient outcome measures.

What impact do hospital and unit-based rules have upon patient and family-centered care in the pediatric intensive care unit?
This qualitative, grounded theory study identified the existence of explicit and implicit rules in a pediatric intensive care unit, all of which negatively affected the family's ability to receive care that was attentive to their needs. The rules also placed the registered nurse in the challenging position of serving as rule enforcer and facilitator of patient and family-centered care.
