Content ArticleThis conceptual article published in The Joint Commission Journal on Quality and Patient Safety describes the barriers and facilitators of adopting, implementing, and sustaining the Patient and Family Advisory Councils on Quality and Safety (PFACQS) model across a large, geographically diffuse health system. Successful strategies that emerged include active board engagement, co-creation and mentorship by experienced patient advocates to support enhanced engagement by local PFACQS community members, and clear alignment with and line of sight on organisational quality and safety goals. It concludes that implementing a robust network of PFACQS focused on improving quality and patient safety requires leadership commitment to transparency, as well as mutual respect and trust. Establishing clear guidelines, structures, and processes supports early adoption. Openness to continuous improvement and adaptations are important to programme success and contribute to programme sustainability.

Content ArticleHealthy eating and fitness mobile apps are designed to promote healthier living. However, for young people, body dissatisfaction is commonplace, and these types of apps can become a source of maladaptive eating and exercise behaviours. Furthermore, such apps are designed to promote continuous engagement, potentially fostering compulsive behaviours. This study, published by JMIR Publications, highlights the necessity for careful considerations around the design of apps that promote weight loss or body modification through fitness training, especially when they are used by young people who are vulnerable to the development of poor body image and maladaptive eating and exercise behaviours.

Content ArticleThe Center for the Advancement of Team Science, Analytics, and Systems Thinking, College of Medicine, Ohio State University, have created a model to conceptualise engagement capacity drawing upon social cognitive theory, developed in the 1960s and 1970s by Canadian psychologist Albert Bandura to explain the various ways that people acquire behaviours. This theoretical framework is widely used specifically to study how people acquire their health habits. The theory includes the concept of 'reciprocal determinism': the idea that there is a dynamic relationship between the person, their environment, and their behaviours, in which they continually influence each other and are influenced by each other. A focus on capacity and context can help providers and health care organisations identify the dimension(s) of engagement that create the greatest barriers for both individual patients and their patient population as a whole, and allocate their resources accordingly.
