The table doesn’t have to be perfect to be worth gathering around. It just has to be honest, looked after, and maintained.

I’ve been writing something for the FER Training Program (ferprogram.ca) for everyone who knows that feeling shared below and keeps showing up anyway. Stay tuned. 🌈
I’ve been thinking a lot about #patientengagement and #familyengagement and where a desire for perfection can seep in.

Transparency is not risk free. But neither is restricted access - Healthy Debate Patients should not have to file formal requests to understand their own care, and they should not be excluded from conversations that shape their health and lives.

Canadians deserve open notes and access to their health data.

This article in @healthydebate.bsky.social argues that patients will seek out their health data and deserve accessibly written notes.

Quote graphic with purple side borders and blue quotation marks. Text reads: “There are so many people who give time to or work in the arthritis community. There are very small organizations run by dedicated, passionate, and often exhausted and barely resourced patients. I’d argue these are the organizations that know the most about what it’s really like to live with arthritis – through a very personal lens.” Attribution: Dawn Richards.

After 20 years of patient engagement… are patients really at the centre yet?

A powerful reflection by Dawn Richards (former Vice-President with CAPA) on lived experience, advocacy, and the gaps that still exist.

Patient Perceptions of artificial intelligence (#AI) in Diabetes Self-Management: Cross-Sectional Survey Study Background: artificial intelligence (#AI) (AI) is increasingly applied in chronic disease management, including diabetes, where it has the potential to support real-time data interpretation, improve clinical decision-making, and enhance patient engagement. Although AI tools are often developed to increase efficiency and personalization, there is limited evidence on how patients perceive the role of AI in managing their condition, particularly in relation to shared decision-making (SDM) and the patient–provider relationship. Objective: This study explored how people with diabetes perceive the usefulness of AI across key self-management tasks and examined their preferences for AI versus health care provider (HCP) involvement. It also assessed predictors of AI preference and proposed a conceptual foundation for integrating AI into a triadic SDM model involving patients, HCPs, and AI. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional online survey of adults with diabetes in New Zealand. Participants were asked to rate 7 diabetes self-management tasks in terms of (1) current HCP involvement, (2) perceived usefulness of AI, (3) comfort with HCPs using AI, and (4) preference for AI, HCP, or both in completing each task. Tasks included data collection, data interpretation, medication adherence, treatment decision-making, lifestyle management, personal reflection, and evaluation of treatment options. Both ordinary least squares regression and ordinal logistic regression (proportional odds models) were used to identify predictors of AI preference. Results: A total of 48 participants completed the survey. Of these participants, 38 (79%) were female, 27 (56%) were aged 26 to 45 years, and 26 (54%) had higher education. Mean HCP involvement across tasks was 2.82 (SD 1.23; range 1-5). AI was viewed as moderately useful overall (mean 3.67, SD 1.20), with highest usefulness for tracking (mean 4.23, SD 1.06) and interpreting information (mean 4.40, SD 0.87). Actual AI use was reported by 15/48 (31%) participants. Participants preferred HCP involvement for tasks involving treatment decision-making (17/48, 35% vs 9/48, 19%) and personal reflection (23/48, 48% vs 9/48, 19%). Across regression models, perceived usefulness of AI was a significant predictor of preference for AI in 4 tasks: data collection (.02), data interpretation (.005), treatment decision-making (.04), and lifestyle management (.046). The patient-HCP relationship significantly predicted lower preference for AI in treatment decision-making (.03) and medication adherence (ordinary least squares .005). Comfort with HCPs using AI was generally nonsignificant. Effects were modest (adjusted ²=0.08-0.21). Conclusions: Patients demonstrated task-specific openness to AI involvement in diabetes management, particularly for structured, data-intensive activities. These findings provide a foundation for future development and evaluation of AI-integrated SDM models. Broader exploration of technology types, relationship dynamics, and collaborative decision-making will be essential as AI becomes increasingly embedded in chronic care management.

Engaging Patient and Caregiver Partners in Codeveloping a Patient Educational Video for Improving Clostridioides difficile Infection Education: Participatory Co-Design Study Background: Patients with recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection (rCDI) and their caregivers often face considerable uncertainty regarding medical management, including the use of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), largely due to the scarcity of accessible and credible educational resources. Codeveloping educational materials with patients and caregivers offers a structured way to address these gaps and ensure that resources reflect the informational, psychological, and emotional needs of patients. Objective: The study team sought to cocreate an educational resource through an iterative process including patient and caregiver partners with lived experience of rCDI to improve C difficile infection education. Methods: This study examined the cocreation process of a patient-centered educational resource between the study team and patient or caregiver participants through a series of focus group (FG) sessions. Five participants took part in 3 serial FG sessions (3-5 participants each) over 13 months. Each FG session was audio recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using the NVivo (version 14) quantitative analysis software. A semantic thematic analysis framework was applied to interpret the results. Key areas of concern and preferred formats were identified following the first FG session. The first version of the educational resource was developed by the study team to address areas of concern and was iteratively refined following feedback from subsequent FG sessions with the study participants. Results: Participants expressed concerns about the lack of credible information on treatment options and their associated risks, especially with regard to FMT. They noted inadequate coverage of C difficile infection recurrence and its physical, psychological, and emotional impacts. Participants expressed a preference for educational resources in video format. On the basis of further feedback, refinements were made to improve pacing, consistency of animation, and narration, incorporating emotional and mental health considerations. The codeveloped video was well received and valued for its clear language, messaging, step-by-step guidance, and overall accessibility and clarity. Conclusions: Our study demonstrated the #feasibility and utility of patient and caregiver involvement in cocreating an educational resource on the management of rCDI, with FMT being a treatment option. Despite efforts to address knowledge gaps and preferences expressed for a video format, uncertainties remain regarding the most effective educational resource format. The integration of patient, caregiver, and study team perspectives contributed to a codeveloped video that addresses unmet needs and is patient centered. However, diverse patient experiences remain underrepresented. Future research should consider including more diverse participants as well as evaluating the effectiveness of knowledge improvement through various educational resource formats and patient health care experiences and levels of satisfaction.
