Helping Patients Help Themselves: Supporting the Healthcare Journey
Patients often feel lost when navigating the health care system, and poor care coordination leads to negative patient outcomes, consumes resources and makes diseases more difficult to treat. Patients and citizens have become eager to take health care decision making into their own hands. To this end, solutions have been proposed which assist patients by providing them with more information and enabling them to take a more active role in their care. These include enlisting a patient navigator, consumer engagement, process mapping, decision aids, and clinical pathways. (Source: Patient Education and Counseling)

Adolescent cancer patients ’ perceived quality of cancer care: The roles of patient engagement and supporting independence
Adolescents with cancer report feeling out of place and without a home in an oncology setting that is usually geared towards younger children or older adults [1,2]. While the American Society of Clinical Oncology [3] has highlighted the need for improvement in quality of care, little attention has been paid to how perceptions of quality of care may vary in patients of different developmental stages. The Institute of Medicine [4] developed a framework for improving the quality of cancer care in the United States that is centered around patient engagement as the primary driving force.

Strengthening patient and family engagement in healthcare — The New Haven Recommendations
The World Health Organization (WHO) has played a decisive role in initiating and supporting partnerships with patients, families and citizens [1 –4]. In 1986, WHO emphasized in its Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion [3] the relevance of reorienting health services towards health promotion and refocusing on the total needs of the individual. Building upon the Ottawa Charter, a feasibility study and first WHO-Model Project on health promoti on in and by hospitals was conducted in the late 1980s in Austria [5] and, later, a European Health Promoting Pilot project followed [6].

What you “see” is how you communicate: Medical students’ meaning making of a patient’s vignette
Obtaining medical histories (patient-narratives) directly from patients or indirectly from third parties (including medical records) is important for establishing the physician –patient relationship and communication. Studies of narrative construction have focused on the interactive discourse between patients and physicians—resulting in co-construction of the narrative through dialogue [1,2]. Other studies focused on the importance of making sense of literary texts, li stening to and telling/writing patients’ stories, and enhancing narrative competence in recognizing, absorbing, interpreting, and being moved by stori...

Why did my doctor call?
My phone rang during lecture. I didn ’t recognize the number, but I was expecting a call from my physician. I had seen him two weeks earlier about a large skin lesion that had been developing over several months. I stepped out of the classroom—my heart beating fast—and picked up the phone.

A cross sectional survey of the UK public to understand use of online ratings and reviews of health services
Online feedback from patients reporting their experiences of health services, health professionals, medical tests and treatments is an increasing phenomenon [1,2]. This is in line with online customer behaviour in many other sectors such as retail and travel, where an explosion in such feedback has been held up as an example of disruptive digital innovation, bringing transformative change to those sectors including service improvement [3]. A recent UK report on online consumer behaviour showed that three in four internet users read reviews before deciding to buy a product or service (not specifically health) and two in fiv...

Becoming an eCoach: Training therapists in online cognitive-behavioral therapy for chronic pain
Internet-based cognitive-behavioral therapy (iCBT) is an important tool to support patients ’ self-management. It empowers them by increasing their knowledge, skills, and confidence to manage their condition [1]. Previous research on iCBT for patients with chronic somatic conditions has shown positive results on psychological and physical functioning, as well as on the impact of the cond itions on daily life [2–4]. This internet-based mode of delivery provides flexibility regarding time and location for both patients and therapists, and therefore increases the availability of therapists [1].

Tolerance of uncertainty: A systematic review of health and healthcare-related outcomes
Uncertainty is an important problem in medicine, pervading nearly every activity of healthcare, from health promotion and disease prevention, to disease treatment, to palliative and end-of-life. In all of these activities uncertainty of one type or another —e.g., diagnostic, prognostic, therapeutic—arises in the minds of patients, clinicians, and trainees, and influences their thoughts, feelings, and actions [1]. Responding to these uncertainties in an adaptive way is one of the most important challenges faced by each of these parties [2,3]. (Source: Patient Education and Counseling)
