Patient-centered interventions to improve medication management and adherence: a qualitative review of research findings.
This review reports the current state of scientific research around interventions to improve medication management through four patient-centered domains. Out of 60 studies, the authors found the following types of intervention: patient education, augmented pharmacy services, decision aids, shared decision-making, and clinical review of patient adherence. They were unable to determine whether these interventions were more effective than traditional medication adherence interventions.

Quantifying the Food And Drug Administration's rulemaking delays highlights the need for transparency.
In order to better understand the FDA’s rulemaking process, the authors examined the evolution of significant rules that the agency published during 2000–12 for drugs, devices, and other medical products. They found that the rules’ median time to finalization was 7.3 years. Longer review times were significantly associated with a reduction in the stringency of final rules, compared to the originally proposed versions.
