Improving communication and resolution following adverse events using a patient-created simulation exercise.
The HealthPact Patient and Family Advisory Council (PFAC) created and led a five-stage simulation exercise to help stakeholders understand what patients experience following an adverse event. Take-homes from these exercises included the fact that the response to adverse events can be complex, siloed, and uncoordinated. Participating in this simulation exercise led stakeholders and patient advocates to express interest in continued collaboration.

Agenda-setting revisited: when and how do primary-care physicians solicit patients' additional concerns?
The authors assessed the distribution, content, and effectiveness of physicians' post-chief-complaint, agenda-setting questions. They found that physicians' questions designed to solicit concerns additional to chief concerns occurred in only 32% of visits. Further, those that were formatted so as to allow for 'concerns' were significantly more likely to generate some type of agenda item.
