Primary care clinician burnout and engagement association with clinical quality and patient experience.
Burnout and engagement are commonly conceptualized as opposite ends of a spectrum, and there is concern that high clinician burnout and lack of engagement may adversely impact patient care. In this study, the investigators matched self-reported data on burnout and engagement for 182 primary care clinicians with data on clinical quality (cancer screenings, hypertension and diabetes control) and patient experience (Clinician and Group Survey-Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems [CG-CAHPS] communication scores, overall rating, and likelihood to recommend the clinic).

Factors associated with family experience in pediatric inpatient care.
Researchers assessed which aspects of pediatric inpatient experience have the strongest relationships with parents' willingness to recommend a hospital. Their cross-sectional study examined surveys completed by parents of children hospitalized at hospitals using the Child Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems Survey. They found that child comfort and nurse-parent communication showed the strongest relationships with willingness to recommend, followed by preparing to leave the hospital, doctor-parent communication, and keeping parents informed. They recommended improvement efforts focusing on creating an age-appropriate environment, improving the effectiveness of provider interactions, and engaging parents to share their values and concerns.

How patient comments affect consumers' use of physician performance measures.
In order to evaluate the relationship between patient characteristics and the frequency and duration of incident steroid use, the researchers applied a 2-part hurdle model to Medicare data. Their study identified differences in predictors of frequency and duration of medication use and suggests the utility of two-part models to examine drug utilization patterns.

Context-based strategies for engaging consumers with public reports about health care providers.
The authors identified three key factors influencing consumer engagement and showed how they manifest in different ways and combinations for four particular choice contexts that appear to offer realistic opportunities for engagement. They also analyzed how these engagement factors play out differently in each choice context and suggest specific strategies that sponsors of public reports can use in each context.
