Developing catalyst films of health experiences: an analysis of a robust multi-stakeholder involvement journey.

Background: Those whose lives are most directly impacted by health care-patients, caregivers, and frontline staff-are ideally situated to improve patient health care services and care quality. Despite a proliferation of literature on both Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) and clinical quality improvement (QI), concrete strategies regarding how to involve patients remain elusive.

Aim: Research suggests catalyst films, comprised of rigorously-analyzed interview data from diverse patients about their experiences with health and health care ("catalyst films") are a promising way to bring actionable patient feedback to QI.
