Promoting engagement by patients and families to reduce adverse events in acute care settings: a systematic review – BMJ Quality & Safety.
 Patient-centeredness is central to healthcare. Hospitals should address patients’ unique needs to improve safety and quality. Patient engagement in healthcare, which may help prevent adverse events, can be approached as an independent patient safety practice (PSP) or as part of a multifactorial PSP.
This review examines how interventions encouraging this engagement have been implemented in controlled trials.
