Strategies for Leadership
The American Hospital Association partnered with the Institute to produce the Strategies for Leadership: Patient- and Family-Centered Care toolkit. This resource was distributed to the CEO of every U.S. hospital in the fall of 2004. It contains a video and companion discussion guide, a resource guide and a self-assessment tool for hospitals. The entire toolkit can be downloaded from the AHA website.
