Bringing the patient voice into health care quality improvement: The patient narrative elicitation project
For decades, health systems have surveyed patients about their healthcare experiences. These surveys are designed to provide a quantifiable metric of performance, not convey details about what went wrong or right in patient care experiences. Members of our team have designed the first, rigorously tested narrative elicitation protocol (NEP) that encourages patients to provide representative accounts of their medical encounters. We propose that such narrative insight can enable innovation and improvement by healthcare providers. In this seminar, the speaker will introduce the NEP, describe an experiment that is the first test of the impact of patient narrative feedback on quality of care, and share preliminary evidence on the value of the NEP and narrative reporting format for health care leaders and staff. This project is advancing the understanding of patients’ narrative feedback as a strategy to enrich healthcare professionals’ learning from patient experiences.

Offers of Payment for Research Participation
The federal regulations applicable to research with human subjects do not explicitly address offers of payment for research participation. Instead, they require that the consent process minimize the possibility of coercion and undue influence. Investigators and IRBs may keep offers of payment low to avoid these concerns, risking inadequate recruitment and insufficient recognition of research participants’ time and burden. Understanding the functions of payment to research participants and the role of the IRB helps to clarify that, from an ethical perspective, we ought to be less worried about payments that are too high and more worried about payments that are too low. Yet, even if higher payments are ethically appropriate, they may lead to practical concerns. How can participants be paid in a way that is fair and supportive of study goals?
