Patient engagement in hospital health service planning and improvement: a scoping review http://bit.ly/2s7u5oA

" barriers of PE in health service improvement were lack of training and uncertainty about role among patients, and healthcare professional uncertainty about how to work with patients and act on their feedback, resulting in token PE."

"patients did not often fulfil the roles of sharing their experiences, asking difficult questions or improving communication between the health service and the community"

There's a lot here and a good bibliography
