Hospitals and Communities Moving Forward
with Patient- and Family-Centered Care

An Intensive Training Seminar
Partnerships for Quality & Safety

“Excellent! Of enormous value to all in the health care field.”

SEMINAR GOALS INCLUDE:

  • Gain understanding of patient- and family-centered care.
  • Explore examples of excellence and innovation in patient- and family-centered policy, program, practice, professional education, and facility design.
  • Learn how to integrate patient- and family-centered concepts within a quality and safety agenda and public reporting of quality data.
  • Create action plans for patient- and family-centered change; individualized for each health system, hospital or amulatory care practice.

“Very thorough and comprehensive. Most dedicated faculty I've ever experienced. Excellent Institute staff and faculty.”

WHAT MAKES THIS SEMINAR SO UNIQUE:

  • Faculty review of pre-seminar self-assessment.
  • Individualized planning time with faculty.
  • Take-home resources for health system, hospital, clinic, or primary care practice presentations, orientation, and in-service sessions.
  • Post seminar follow-up telephone technical assistance with Institute staff.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:

We urge all health care systems, from large hospitals to small provider practices, to send an interdisciplinary team of participants that includes administrative leaders, physicians, nurses and other clinical staff, as well as patient and family leaders whose primary association with the team is as consumers of health services. This team also may include health care design professionals and other consultants working within the field.
