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).

Training patients to review scientific reports for the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute: an observational study.
This observational study aimed to evaluate the effect of new training for patient peer reviewers of scientific reports for the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI). A new online training in peer review was used to help change reviewers’ knowledge and skills and change self-efficacy and attitudes. Reviewers improved their answers to the knowledge questions. Median numbers of answers improved after the training, particularly in questions targeting the specifics of PCORI peer review. It modestly increased reviewers’ confidence in completing a high-quality peer review. Their excitement about providing a review slightly increased. All reviewers were satisfied with the training.

A family-centered rounds checklist, family engagement, and patient safety: a randomized trial.
The researchers examined the impact of the family-centered rounds (FCRs) checklist intervention, a checklist and associated provider training, on performance of FCR elements, family engagement, and patient safety. They found that the performance of FCR checklist elements was enhanced by checklist implementation and associated with changes in family engagement and more positive perceptions of safety climate.
