Simulation-based mastery learning compared to standard education for discussing diagnostic uncertainty with patients in the emergency department: a randomized controlled trial.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Uncertainty Communication Education Module (UCEM) in improving physician communications. Patients' understanding of the care they received has implications for care quality, safety, and patient satisfaction, especially when they are discharged without a definitive diagnosis. Developing a patient-centered diagnostic uncertainty communication strategy will improve safety of acute care discharges. This trial has been designed to have a low-resource, scalable intervention that would allow for widespread dissemination and uptake.

A comparison of electronic patient-portal use among patients with resident and attending primary care providers.
In this study, the authors investigated differences in overall and patterns of portal use for patients with resident and attending primary care providers (PCPs). They concluded that given the lower patient-portal use among residents' patients, residency programs should develop curricula to bolster trainee competence in using the patient-portal for communication and to enhance the patient-physician relationship.

Patient perceptions of whom is most involved in their care with successive duty hour limits.
The researchers aimed to assess if patients’ perceptions of who is most involved in their care changed with residency duty hours. They found that after successive residency duty hours limits, hospitalized patients were more likely to report the attending physician and less likely to report the resident or intern as most involved in their hospital care.
