PFE & Patient Experience Workshops
The Foundation for Healthy Communities, with funding from the Partnership for Patients, offers a series of customized workshops designed to train hospital staff and patient family advisors. The workshops are designed to provide hospitals and health systems with the resources and tools needed to train staff and patient family advisors in the areas of enhanced patient safety, quality, and patient experience.
The workshops are led by Tanya Lord, PhD, MPH, the Foundation’s Director of Patient & Family Engagement and national subject matter expert on patient and family engagement.
All workshops are offered free of charge and are 2 hours in length and can be scheduled as half or full day sessions, or as a workshop series over
12 weeks. Topics range from the fundamentals of establishing a Patient & Family Advisory Council at your hospital to strategies for improving engagement and quality outcomes.
