Supporting Family Caregivers’ Clinical Communication Skills
C 3 PM-Dementia can be an educational tool offered by clinicians to caregivers to provide guidance on key communication strategies to enact before, during, after, and between appointments to achieve critical care goals. The model can enhance communication between caregivers and clinicians, which can promote better outcomes in both cancer and dementia care
Lessons Learned from a Parkinson's Research Patient Advisory Board Model with Academic Centers
Background: There is minimal comparative effectiveness research (CER) in Parkinson's disease (PD). Engaging people with PD in the research process through patient advisory boards (PAB) is one way to address this gap. Objectives: To describe the project model and lessons learned from a PAB pilot project in five Parkinson's Foundation Centers of Excellence in CER. Methods: A virtual training and toolkit on patient engagement, PABs and CER was creat…
Participation and consultation engagement strategies have complementary roles
BACKGROUND: Patient and public involvement (PPI) is recommended when developing high-quality clinical practice guidelines, but the effects of different PPI strategies are largely unstudied. OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of participation and consultation strategies on guideline question development. DESIGN: Instrumental case study design. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: This study used a clinical practice guideline in development by the American Acade…
How to identify, incorporate and report patient preferences in clinical guidelines
Improving patient‐centred care for persons with Parkinson's
OBJECTIVE: This study explored how care partners (CPs) of persons with Parkinson's (PwP) are engaged in discussions of "off" symptoms. METHODS: During qualitative interviews, CPs of PwP sampled by convenience through the Michael J Fox Foundation online clinical trial matching service were asked to describe their familiarity with "off" symptoms, how "off" symptoms were discussed with clinicians, and the impact of "off" symptoms on them. Data were …
Framework for enhancing clinical practice guidelines through continuous patient engagement
BACKGROUND: Patient engagement in clinical practice guideline (CPG) development is recommended by multiple institutions and instruments measuring guideline quality. Approaches to engaging patients, however, vary between oversight organizations, quality tools and guideline developers. OBJECTIVE: We propose a ten-step framework outlining steps and options for patient engagement in guideline development with the goal of highlighting steps for patien…

Co-Interpreting Movement With Sensors
Movement sensors have been touted as providing the next generation of health care through objective measurements that will replace “subjective” health assessments and remove the fallible memory of patients from health decision making. However, assessing the level of disability and assessing the efficacy of treatment are iterative and constructive acts reliant on an alignment of shared perceptions between clinician and patient. The challenge then …
Does spouse participation influence quality of life reporting in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Healthcare in Exile
The ANC's early health provisions that in 1977 culminated in a bureaucratised Department of Health were critical for the survival of Umkhonto weSizwe (MK) cadres and the ANC's exile movement more generally. This article examines how the relationship between the medical sector and the military changed throughout the time that the ANC and MK were in exile while indicating instances where they influenced each other. While the Health Department's rel…
