It supports safe transitions between care settings, providers, and ultimately, as illness progresses. However, in the hospital setting, family engagement is poorly operationalized. While the existing literature acknowledges its benefits, it does not adequately define the specific domains of family engagement, the roles families play during inpatient care, or whether these factors differ across patient populations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aims<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This research aims to describe family engagement in the hospital setting and examine whether differences exist in documentation across various populations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A retrospective chart review (RCR) was conducted using data extracted from the electronic medical records (EMRs) of adult patients admitted to neuroscience units at an academic medical center. Descriptive statistics were calculated for continuous and categorical variables. Chi-square analysis was performed on categorical variables (e.g., race, social deprivation index [SDI], cognitive impairment) to identify statistically significant differences between groups, with a threshold of\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.05.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Findings<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The RCR included data of 293 patient records.
