Background: Health research is rapidly evolving to include patient stakeholders (patients, families and caregivers) as active members of research teams. The proliferation of published frameworks describing the conceptual foundations underlying this engagement, and strategies detailing best practice activities to support this process has led to a diffusion of information. Therefore, the aims of this study […]

To that end, our large academic hospital medicine group has developed a multi-modal strategy to identify high-yield interventions for provider well-being. A part of this initiative involved piloting a digital survey […]
