A learning loop model of collaborative decision-making in chronic illness.
In this article, the authors discuss their learning loop model, which posits the relationship between pediatric patients, their parents, and their clinicians as central to the collaborative decision-making process in the setting of chronic illness. The model incorporates the evolution of both context and developmental capacity over time. It suggests that "meta-learning" from the experience of and outcomes from iterative decision is a key factor that may influence relationships and thus continued engagement in collaboration by patients, their parents, and their clinicians.

Physician intervention to positive depression screens among adolescents in primary care.
The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of computer-based screening and physician feedback to guide adolescent depression management within primary care. The investigators found that when a computer-based decision support system algorithm focused on adolescent depression and was implemented in two primary care clinics, a majority of physicians utilized screening results to guide clinical care.

Factors contributing to variations in physicians' use of evidence at the point of care: a conceptual model.
The purpose of this article is to help identify modifiable factors that can influence clinical decisions at the point of care. It presents a conceptual model and literature review of physician decisionmaking. The authors describe the multitude of factors—drawn from different disciplines—that have been shown to influence physician point-of-care decisions. They also present a conceptual framework for organizing these factors.

Transforming patient-centered care: development of the evidence informed decision making through engagement model.
The purpose of this article is to set forth a new patient-centered implementation model informed by a qualitative study that explored women’s decisions, perceptions, and experiences of elective induction of labor. Through a process of theory evaluation and development, the authors explore patient-centered concepts (patient activation and shared decision making) within an implementation model by mapping qualitative data from an elective induction of labor study to assess the model’s ability to capture these key concepts.

A proposed 'health literate care model' would constitute a systems approach to improving patients' engagement in care.
The researchers proposed a Health Literate Care Model that would weave health literacy strategies into the widely adopted Care Model (formerly known as the Chronic Care Model). Their new model calls for approaching all patients with the assumption that they are at risk of not understanding their health conditions or how to deal with them, and then confirming and ensuring patients' understanding. They suggested that health literacy would then become an organizational value infused into all aspects of planning and operations. They also proposed a measurement framework to track the impact of the new Health Literate Care Model on patient outcomes and quality of care.
