Better Together and Northwell Health
 Beginning in the fall of 2018, 15 hospitals from Northwell Health, a large integrated health care organization in New York State, participated in IPFCC’s initiative, Better Together: Partnering with Families, A Learning Community for Hospitals in NYS. Over a 10-month period, led by Northwell’s Office of Patient and Customer Experience, significant changes were made to enhance system-wide family presence and participation. |

Advance Care Planning in Primary Care
With funding from the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI®), Oregon Health & Science University, in collaboration with six other institutions in the US and Canada (the Meta-LARC consortium), is moving into the second year of a research project to explore models for advance care planning in primary care. Forty-two practices and more than 1,000 seriously ill patients will participate in the study. IPFCC is serving in a leadership role for the patient engagement component of the 5-year project.

Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance
IPFCC is working with the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA), a peer-directed national organization. IPFCC will be conducting focus groups with people living with depression and/or bipolar disorder to learn more about their perspectives on wellness and priorities for treatment outcomes. This work supports DBSA's ten-year strategic effort to ensure that peer-desired treatment outcomes are incorporated in research and the delivery of mental health care throughout the entire health care system.

Susan M. Grant, DNP, RN, NEA-BC
EVP and CNO, Beaumont Health

This webinar will describe the journey of Beaumont Health, the largest health system in Michigan, to integrate PFCC in its hospitals, ambulatory practices, long-term care communities, hospice, home care, and educational partner organizations. Presenter Susan Grant will also share how, at every step in this journey, leadership – from the governing board to unit managers – modeled commitment and guided the process to build partnerships with patients and families. As background for this webinar, we recommend reading the article, "Advancing the Practice of Patient- and Family-Centered Care Across a Health System: The Role of Nursing Leadership,” in the August 2019 issue of Nurse Leader.

July and August Informal Conversations |
PFCC.Connect hosts informal conversations monthly for members to learn from each other on topics that advance patient- and family-centered care. Rather than a structured presentation, the discussion is guided by what participants want to learn about through sharing collective experiences. The most recent conversation was held on July 18th on Behavioral Health–Engaging Patients and Families. The recording and chat, along with resource materials, are available in the PFCC All Members Library.
Our next conversation will be held on August 1st at 2 PM ET/11 AM PT on Measurement: Tracking Patient and Family Engagement Activities and Outcomes. Registration details have been sent to all members and is also posted in the PFCC.Connect Events calendar. Become a member so you don’t miss out!
