Establishing a partnership with patients and families is imperative to improve patient quality and safety. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) developed the 5 Metrics for Person and Family Engagement to provide HQIC facilities a framework to engage patients and families in their care. This begins prior to admission and continues throughout hospitalization until discharge. Discover how to keep patients and families at the center of care, and engage staff to form an alliance with patients and families. These short, 30-minute presentations will address the criteria to meet these measures and will assist your facility in improving your patient and family engagement (PFE).
