“…Nous comprenons certaines préoccupations des partenaires et des dirigeants d'organismes, telles que l'incertitude quant à la manière d'inclure les conseils des patients et familles, le temps des bénévoles et les craintes que leur participation puisse perturber au lieu de construire. C'est pourquoi nous souhaitons soutenir tout le monde dans nos efforts communs visant à impliquer les patients partenaires (Kovacs Burns 2008).…”

“…Our third strength is that we can demonstrate how meaningful patient and family engagement fosters collaborative partnerships. Much has been published over the past 20 years (Bates and Singh 2018;Clancy 2009; Institute of Medicine 1999) supporting the value of patient involvement in their health and in healthcare improvements, but similar support for its value in patient safety has only been addressed within the past 10 years (Berger et al 2014;Burrows Walters and Duthie 2017;Hall et al 2010;Kovacs Burns 2008;Kushner and Davis 2014;Khan et al 2017;Longtin et al 2010;Trew et al 2010;Weissman et al 2008). Our patient and family lived experiences with harm are increasingly valued and have directly resulted in patient engagement in healthcare safety.…”

“…We understand some of the concerns of organizational partners and leaders, such as uncertainty of how to include patient and family advisors, the time commitment of volunteers and fears of patient and family advisor participation being disruptive rather than constructive. This is why we aim to support everyone in our shared efforts to effectively engage patient partners (Kovacs Burns 2008).…”

Patients for Patient Safety Canada (PFPSC) member engagement has evolved from individual stories to having 27 patients and family members actively participating in the National Patient Safety Consortium. PFPSC collaborated with 270 other stakeholders in governance, leadership and action teams to design, implement and evaluate the National Patient Safety Consortium and Integrated Patient Safety Action Plan. There were several key outputs, including a patient engagement guide. This article illustrates how patients were meaningfully engaged in a large-scale change initiative, highlighting the experiences of the patient partners and organizational partners in this transformational change.

This systematic review identifies the factors that both support and deter patients from being willing and able to participate actively in reducing clinical errors. Specifically, we add to our understanding of the safety culture in healthcare by engaging with the call for more focus on the relational and subjective factors which enable patients' participation (Iedema, Jorm & Lum, 2009; Ovretveit, 2009). A systematic search of six databases, ten journals and seven healthcare organisations' web sites resulted in the identification of 2714 studies of which 68 were included in the review. These studies investigated initiatives involving patients in safety or studies of patients' perspectives of being actively involved in the safety of their care. The factors explored varied considerably depending on the scope, setting and context of the study. Using thematic analysis we synthesized the data to build an explanation of why, when and how patients are likely to engage actively in helping to reduce clinical errors. The findings show that the main factors for engaging patients in their own safety can be summarised in four categories: illness; individual cognitive characteristics; the clinician-patient relationship; and organisational factors. We conclude that illness and patients' perceptions of their role and status as subordinate to that of clinicians are the most important barriers to their involvement in error reduction. In sum, patients' fear of being labelled 'difficult' and a consequent desire for clinicians' approbation may cause them to assume a passive role as a means of actively protecting their personal safety. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63
