IPFCC at Work
With grant support from the New York State Health Foundation, IPFCC has compiled a selected bibliography for the project, Supporting PFCC Practices and Strategies in the Time of COVID-19. These articles represent a cross-section of topics and issues showing the impact of the pandemic on patient- and family-centered practices and span the timeframe of July 2020 - April 2021. 

The Foundation is also supporting IPFCC in the development of a journal article about telehealth and essential partnerships with patients and families in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of telehealth.
IPFCC staff continue to work on addressing the impact of COVID-19. We are collaborating with Smart from the Start on a PCORI-funded engagement project to identify challenges to partnering with urban underserved populations in research in the time of COVID-19. The project involves family leaders, community organizations, and researchers. Tools and resources will be developed and shared later this year. Read more about the project here.
