Promoting engagement by patients and families to reduce adverse events in acute care settings: a systematic review.
This review examined how interventions encouraging patient and family engagement have been implemented in controlled trials. Among 12 identified studies, the authors noted that definitions of patient and family engagement were lacking. They found insufficient high-quality evidence to inform real-world implementation and provided recommendations for further study.

Structuring patient and family involvement in medical error event disclosure and analysis.
The researchers conducted a two-phase study to understand whether patients and families who have experienced an adverse event should be involved in the postevent analysis following the disclosure of a medical error. After evaluating the findings, participants concluded that increasing the involvement of patients and their families in the event analysis process was desirable but needed to be structured in a patient-centered way to be successful.
