Patient involvement in quality improvement: a survey comparing naturalistic and reflective approaches.

Background: This study investigates reflective and naturalistic approaches to patient involvement in quality improvement. The reflective approach, using, for example, interviews, provides insights into patient needs and demands to support an established improvement agenda. The naturalistic approach, for example, observations, is used to discover practical problems and opportunities that professionals are currently unaware of.

Ameliorating Child poverty through Connecting Economic Services with child health Services (ACCESS): study protocol for a randomised controlled trial of the healthier wealthier families model in Sweden.

Background: Sweden is often held up as an example of a country with low child deprivation; yet, rates of relative deprivation are rising. Every municipality in Sweden is required to provide free, timely and accessible budget and debt counselling under the Social Services Act. The services have been encouraged to perform preventative practice with families; however, this has not been realised.

Exploring power shifts as an enabler for a strengthened patient role in quality improvements: a Swedish survey study.

Objectives: This study examined the relationship between professionals' perceptions of a strengthened role for the patient and of patient involvement in quality improvement (QI) and whether professionals' experiences in improvement science were a moderator on such a relationship.

Design: From a predominantly close-ended, 44-item questionnaire, 4 questions specifically concerning professionals' perception on patient involvement in QI were analysed.

Setting: Three Swedish regions.

The role of professional logics in quality register use: a realist evaluation.

Background: Clinical practice improvements based on quality-register data are influenced by multiple factors. Although there is agreement that information from quality registers is valuable for quality improvement, practical ways of organising register use have been notoriously difficult to realise. The present study sought to investigate the mechanisms that lead various clinicians to use quality registers for improvement.
