Moving Forward with Patient- and Family-Centered Care : An Intensive Training Seminar Partnerships for Quality & Safety

This seminar provides three and a half days of comprehensive and practical sessions designed to help administrative leaders, board members, physicians, nurses and other staff, patients, and families become effective agents for patient- and family-centered change in their organizations. Participants will gain the knowledge and skills to begin to transform health care within hospitals, ambulatory care settings, and community organizations to address the challenges and recommendations discussed in the Institute of Medicine’s report, Crossing the Quality Chasm: A New Health System for the 21st Century and more recently, in Best Care at Lower Cost: The Path to Continuously Learning Health Care in America. This seminar will inspire and prepare participants to move forward with the 2012 IOM recommendation to give patients “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.”
