Setting a minimum passing standard for the uncertainty communication checklist through patient and physician engagement.
Historically, medically trained experts have served as judges to establish a minimum passing standard (MPS) for mastery learning. As mastery learning expands from procedure-based skills to patient-centered domains, such as communication, there is an opportunity to incorporate patients as judges in setting the MPS. In this study, the investigators described their process of incorporating patients as judges to set the minimum passing standard (MPS) and compared the MPS set by patients and emergency medicine residency program directors (PDs).

Who represents me? A patient-derived model of patient engagement via patient and family advisory councils (PFACs).
This study examined what expectations would be from patients who are not patient and family advisory council (PFAC) members of PFACs. Patients and caregivers from the Johns Hopkins Medical Alliance for Patients, LLC were recruited in 2014. This Medicare accountable care organization has an established PFAC, the Beneficiary Advisory Council. Five focus groups with 42 patients and caregivers participated. Most participants were not aware of PFACs and wanted to know more about representation, what they could do and expected that patients could communicate with PFACs if desired.

Effect of TELEmedicine for inflammatory bowel disease on patient activation and self-efficacy.
This study examined the use of a web-based monitoring system called TELEmedicine to remotely monitor changes in patient activation and self-efficacy for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients. This multicenter, randomized controlled trial enrolled 222 adults with IBD who had experienced an IBD flare within 2 years prior to the trial. Changes in self-efficacy were not significantly different between the two groups although patient activation scores were.

Patient ergonomics: 10-year mapping review of patient-centered human factors.
The authors performed a mapping review of 212 full-text patient ergonomics publications in two conference proceedings, 2007-2017. They found gaps deserving future research, including research with understudied populations and marginalized populations; on topics such as health promotion and transitions of care; and using longitudinal and experimental study designs. They recommended more focused reviews, new primary research, and developing a roadmap for future patient ergonomics research.

The impact of decision aids on adults considering hip or knee surgery.
Investigators analyzed data for 2012-2015 about patients within the ten High Value Healthcare Collaborative member systems who were exposed to condition-specific decision aids in the context of consultations for hip and knee osteoarthritis, with the intention that the aids be used to support shared decision making. They found that, compared to matched patients not exposed to the decision aids, those exposed had two-and-a-half times the odds of undergoing hip replacement surgery and nearly twice the odds of undergoing knee replacement surgery within six months of the consultation. Their findings suggest that health care systems adopting decision aids developed for use in shared decisionmaking, and used in conjunction with hip and knee osteoarthritis consultations, should not expect reduced surgical utilization.
