Patient engagement and prescription opioid use in perioperative pain management.

Objective: To examine (1) patient perceptions regarding their engagement and the engagement of their families in perioperative pain management, (2) demographic and clinical characteristics associated with perceived patient and family engagement, and (3) the association between perceived patient and family engagement and patient outcomes.

Design: A prospective, observational study.

Setting: The Personalized Pain Program (PPP) at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland.

Feasibility of patient-reported diagnostic errors following emergency department discharge: a pilot study.

Objectives: The National Academy of Medicine identified diagnostic error as a pressing public health concern and defined failure to effectively communicate the diagnosis to patients as a diagnostic error. Leveraging Patient's Experience to improve Diagnosis (LEAPED) is a new program for measuring patient-reported diagnostic error. As a first step, we sought to assess the feasibility of using LEAPED after emergency department (ED) discharge.
