Thank You for Joining Us!
How many new colleagues can you meet in 10 minutes?
In our time together … Create shared language around patient- and family-
centered care concepts, tools and practices Learn about best practices in the field
Promote teambuilding within sites and across sites
to build on “know-how” and awareness of what’s possible. Identify your approach to build or strengthen a
patient and family advisory program Prioritize key PFE content areas for the
collaborative participants related to each hospital’s action plan
Building Momentum for Change
Patient- and Family-Centered Core Concepts People are treated with respect and dignity. Health care providers communicate and share
complete and unbiased information with patients and families in ways that are affirming and useful. Patients and families are encouraged and supported in
participating in care and decision-making at the level they choose. Collaboration among patients, families, and providers
occurs in policy and program development and professional education, as well as in the delivery of care.
Patient- and family-centered care is working "with" patients and families, rather than just doing "to" or "for" them.
Why Patient- AND Family-Centered Care and not just Patient-Centered Care? Individuals, who are most dependent on health care, are most dependent on families… The very young;
The very old; and Those with chronic conditions.
Families can be allies for quality and safety; they often are the constant support across settings and assist with transitions of care. They can participate in the development of a care plan and support adherence to the plan.
Why Patient- AND Family-Centered Care and not just Patient-Centered Care? Social isolation is a risk factor. Research is clear that isolating patients at their most vulnerable times from the people who know them best places them at risk for medical error, emotional harm, inconsistencies in care, and costly unnecessary care (Cacioppo & Hawkley, 2003;Clark,Drain, & Malone 2003). The majority of patients have some connection to family or natural support. Cacioppo, J. T., & Hawkley, L. C. (2003). Social isolation and health, with an emphasis on underlying mechanisms. Perspectives in Biology and Medicine, 46(3), S39-S52. Clark P. A., Drain, M., & Malone, M. P. (2003). Addressing patients' emotional and spiritual needs. Joint Commission Journal on Quality and Safety 29(12), 659-70.
A Broad Definition of Family . . . In health care settings, patients are asked to define their families and how they will be involved in care and decision-making. The American Academy of Family Physicians which defines “family” as “a group of individuals with a continuing legal, genetic and/or emotional relationship”. (American Academy of Family Physicians, 2009).
Patient- and Family-Centered Care Patient Engagement Patient Experience
Patient Engagement
“…actions individuals must take to obtain the greatest benefit from the health care services available to them.” Center for the Advancement of Health, 2010 http://www.cfah.org http://www.cfah.org/fileCFAH_PACT_WhitePaper_current.pdf

‘Blockbuster Drug’ Patient Engagement
“Engagement, broadly defined, is an active partnership among individuals, families, health care clinicians, staff, and leaders to improve the health of individuals and communities, and to improve the delivery of health care.” Health Affairs, 32(2) 2013
Collaborative Patient and Family Engagement Collaborative patient and family engagement is a strategy for building a patient- and family-centered system of care. It is a priority consideration and essential to health reform at four levels: At the clinical encounter—patient and family engagement in direct care, care planning, and decision-making.
At the practice or organizational level—patient and family engagement in quality improvement and health care redesign. At the community level—bringing together community resources with health care organizations, patients, and families. At policy levels—locally, regionally, and nationally.

Patient- and family-centered care provides the framework and strategies to transform organizational culture and improve the experience of care, and enhance quality, safety, and efficiency.
Major Unnecessary Costs in Health Care Inconsistent Quality
Poor Communication Errors, especially in the Transitions
and Transfers Infections Unsatisfied Customers Poor Design of Facilities
If we asked…….. what stories might we hear?
Patient Engagement - Why Now? Evidence compelling: Improves quality, safety and outcomes of care Ensures that patients receive care that fits their
preferences Reduces: Use of diagnostics and health care services Health care costs Increases: Buy-in to prescribed treatment Patient experience and satisfaction scores Staff and clinicians’ satisfaction and retention
Triple Aim — Patient- and Family-Centered Care

Reducing Costs
"The most direct route to the Triple Aim is via patient-and family-centered care in its fullest form.” Don Berwick June 5, 2012
Transforming Healthcare: A Safety Imperative “We envisage patients as essential and respected partners in their own care and in the design and execution of all aspects of healthcare. In this new world of healthcare: Organizations publicly and consistently affirm the centrality of patient-and family-centered care. They seek out patients, listen to them, hear their stories, are open and honest with them, and take action with them. . . . Continued Leape, L., Berwick, D., Clancy, C., & Conway, J., et al. (2009). Transforming healthcare: A safety imperative, BMJ’s Quality and Safety in Health Care. Available at: http://qshc.bmj.com/content/18/6/424.full
Transforming Healthcare: A Safety Imperative (cont’d) The family is respected as part of the care team— never visitors—in every area of the hospital, including the emergency department and the intensive care unit. Patients share fully in decision-making and are guided on how to self-manage, partner with their clinicians and develop their own care plans. They are spoken to in a way they can understand and are empowered to be in control of their care.”
Best Care at Lower Cost: The Path to Continuously Learning Health Care in America The IOM report has 10 key recommendations; the 4th recommendation states: “Involve patients and families in decisions regarding health and health care, tailored to fit their preferences. Patients and families should be given the opportunity to be fully engaged participants at all levels, including individual care decisions, health system learning and improvement activities, and community-based interventions to promote health.” S-23 “In a learning health care system, patient needs and perspectives are factored into the design of health care processes, the creation and use of technologies, and the training of clinicians.” 5-5. www.iom.edu/Reports/2012/Best-Care-at-Lower-Cost-The-Path-to-Continuously-Learning-Health-Care-inAmerica.aspx
A Key Lever for Leaders . . . Putting Patients and Families on the Improvement Team In a growing number of instances where truly stunning levels of improvement have been achieved... Leaders of these organizations often cite—putting patients and families in a position of real power and influence, using their wisdom and experience to redesign and improve care systems—as being the single most powerful transformational change in their history. Reinertsen, J. L., Bisagnano, M., & Pugh, M. D. Seven Leadership Leverage Points for Organization-Level Improvement in Health Care, 2nd Edition, IHI Innovation Series, 2008. Available at www.ihi.org.
Entire issue devoted to Patient- and Family-Centered Care April 2010
A recent (2014) report from the NPSF Lucian Leape Institute at the National Patient Safety Foundation affirms that “patients and families can play a critical role in preventing medical errors and reducing harm.”
Change The Assumptions Assume patients are the experts on their own experience and that they have information you need to hear and act on. Know that families are primary partners in a patient’s experience and health.
Patients and Families are Essential Partners for Innovation, Quality Improvement, and Health Care Redesign

Greenville, NC The Board and senior executive team have made an
explicit commitment to patient- and family-centered care. The Quality Strategic Pillar reinforces this commitment
with the words: "Partner with patients and families to achieve safe, high quality care and exceptional experiences.” Within the Office of Patient/Family Experience, there is
an Administrator that serves as a staff liaison for collaborative endeavors and builds synergy with all efforts to improve the patient experience.
The Role of Leadership During the interview process in hiring physicians, the CEO of Vidant Bertie and Vidant Chowan hospitals always conveys the following about the health system’s key values and priorities: If you don’t embrace PFCC and patient . and family partnerships AND if you do not embrace Just Culture, there is no need to talk further.
Vidant Bertie Windsor, NC 6-bed critical access hospital in North Carolina. 12-member Patient and Family Advisory Council —
“Small and mighty group of advisors” . . . Amy Jones, Administrator, Vidant Health President and CNO regularly attend the monthly
meetings—6:00 pm Monday nights. These patient and family advisors are helping the
hospital be “real” about population health and think beyond the walls of the hospital and clinic. After meetings, the Council attendees round in the ED

Establishing An Advisory Program: Building the Infrastructure to Support Effective Partnerships
Learning about the patient’s and family’s experience . . . Focus groups and surveys are not enough! Hospitals, health systems, primary care practices, clinics, dialysis centers, and other community-based agencies must create a variety of ways for patients and families to serve as advisors.
What Is an Advisor?
Advisors - Patients, Families, Residents Any role in which those who receive care work together with health care professionals to improve care for everyone. Advisors share insights and perspectives about the experience of care and offer suggestions for change and improvement.
Why Involve Patients and Families as Advisors? Bring important perspectives.
Teach how systems really work. Keep staff grounded in reality. Provide timely feedback and ideas. Inspire and energize staff. Lessen the burden on staff to fix the problems…
staff do not have to have all the answers. Bring connections with the community. Offer an opportunity to “give back.”
Qualities and Skills of Successful Patient and Family Advisors The ability to share personal experiences in ways that
others can learn from them. The ability to see the bigger picture. Interested in more than one agenda issue. The ability to listen and hear other points of view. The ability to connect with people. A sense of humor.
Representative of the patients and families served by
the hospital and clinics.
What Is a Patient and Family Advisory Council? Formal mechanism within an organization to create
authentic collaboration and partnerships. Establishes ongoing relationships with regular meeting
times and terms of service. Seeks diverse perspectives representing the populations
served. Organizational leadership sponsors the effort. Council provides input mechanism for a variety of issues. Role of Advisors:
Partners in key areas within the organization (quality,
safety, program development, policy). Initiates and identifies opportunities for improvement in
patient and family experience of care.
What It Is Not…
A support group!
Collaboration Beyond Advisory Councils Invite patients with a chronic condition to participate in
a team working on improving educational materials or programs to that population of patients. Identify patients new to the hospital to participate in a
“photo walk-about” to take pictures of ways the environment is welcoming and places where the messages could be more positive or where wayfinding is confusing.
Ask patients and family what is one change we could
make that would improve your experience? Collect the responses and form an improvement team with advisors to follow-up on suggestions.

Tips and Tools for Success
Advisory Council Basics Determine council structure, size, meeting schedule,
operating procedures, and bylaws. Define the role, purpose, and vision. Orient and prepare advisors and staff. Encourage increasing ‘ownership’ of council. Provide resources for administration, ongoing
mentoring and skill development. Build access to leadership and align with organizational priorities. Evaluate achievements, participation, and processes.
Recruiting Advisors Ask staff and physicians for suggestions. Contact support groups and community organizations
such as Rotary, Kiwanis, fire stations, and religious organizations. Ask current patient and family advisors. Ask patients/families during a clinic visit or during a
hospital stay when appropriate. Post signs/brochures on bulletin boards in waiting
areas, corridors, and lobbies. Place notices in the clinic’s, hospital’s, or nursing
home’s publications, websites, and TV systems.
Post information on Twitter and Facebook. Place announcements in local newspapers.

How To Be an Effective Advisor How to ask questions, state
opinions, and provide feedback. What to do when there is a disagreement. Listening and learning from other’s viewpoints. Thinking beyond your own experience. Sharing your story. Telling “negative” stories in a positive way.

Engaging Leadership
Who is leading? 93% of healthcare leaders say patient experience is among their top five priorities
While 72% of senior healthcare leaders say that patient experience has been more of a priority in the past year, only 1 of 8 CEOs has primary responsibility for it. Reported by Anna Roth, CEO of Contra Costa Medical Center October 2013
Contra Costa Regional Medical Center, Martinez, CA
Implementing a new philosophy of welcoming families . . . With a commitment to learning and quality improvement as integral to the process.

Preparing Staff and Clinicians to Partner
Mental Barriers — Anticipate and Respond Proactively HIPAA will not permit this. Patients and families will hear negatives about our
organization. We don't want to air our dirty laundry. This is nice to talk about, but we don’t have time. Patients and families just don’t understand our system. They will want things that cost too much and we'll have to tell them "no." We need to be better organized, before involving them. For further information: Essential Allies, page 41
Preparing Staff and Clinicians for Collaborative Efforts Value the perspectives and
experiences of all. Ask open-ended questions about concerns, fears and issues. Listen, Listen, Listen. Debunk the myths. Provide the evidence. Make it easy; take care of the operational details. Show appreciation for everyone’s contributions.
Fostering a Successful Beginning: Staff Roles on the Council Serve as a connection between other staff and
the advisory group. Be a Patient- and Family-centered “champion.”
Respond to issues in their respective areas
based on concerns and/or suggestions presented to the advisory group. Provide information for the advisory group.
Fostering a Successful Beginning: Orienting Staff Explain how staff should be involved. Be open to questions and challenges. Try not to be defensive. Defensiveness usually has a negative
effect. Assist in communicating activities of the
advisory group to other staff.
