San Antonio Seminar – A Great Opportunity for Interdisciplinary Learning
|
IPFCC’s Moving Forward with Patient- and Family-Centered Care: Partnerships for Quality and Safety ~ An Intensive Training Seminar will be held in San Antonio, TX, November 16-18, with leadership support from MEDNAX. Join us at the seminar and learn from faculty who are nationally recognized leaders in patient- and family-centered care. Gain knowledge, skills, and tools for enhancing and sustaining partnerships with patients and families to improve the experience of care and enhance quality and safety.
While seminar content is designed for a multidisciplinary audience that includes health care executives, clinicians, staff, and patient and family advisors, several sessions will be of particular interest to physicians. Sessions are offered that focus on collaborating with patients and families in clinical practice, patient- and family-centered rounds, involving physicians in PFCC initiatives, and partnering with patient and family faculty in medical education and orientation. Faculty members, Bill Schwab, a family medicine physician, and Paul Boucher, a medical director of an adult ICU, will facilitate a popular networking breakfast for physician attendees on Thursday, November 17 from 7-8 am. Neonatologists from MEDNAX and a family advisor will share their story that began in 2013 when their small team attended an IPFCC seminar in Annapolis, MD, created a vision for change, and are now successfully building PFCC initiatives across San Antonio.
Register by September 30th to take advantage of the Early-Bird registration rate. Learn more about the seminar. Download the brochure.

Key IPFCC Collaborations Showcased at The 7th International Conference on Patient- and Family-Centered Care
|
In addition to the new Ronald McDonald House Charities partnership featured in the August 2016 issue of Pinwheel Pages, The 7th International Conference showcased several significant collaborations between IPFCC and other organizations:
March of Dimes
IPFCC and the March of Dimes are working together to help NICUs around the country strengthen neonatal family-centered care. At a special session during the Conference, participants (including family advisors, researchers, administrators, and neonatologists) used automated instant polling to share information about successes and challenges within their units. Polling areas included:
- FCC policies and practices to engage teen parents
- FCC policies and practices for families who cannot be present on the unit
- Support for non-English-speaking families
Following the polling, participants met in small groups to discuss these challenges and identify possible solutions. The March of Dimes and IPFCC will host similar discussions at the upcoming Intensive Training Seminar in San Antonio.
New Yorkers for Patient and Family Empowerment
In a special project, Better Together for NYC Hospitals, IPFCC is collaborating with New Yorkers for Patient and Family Empowerment to change restrictive visiting policies in NYC hospitals and to document that change through an updated version of the report, Sick, Scared, and Separated from Loved Ones, originally published in 2012. As part of the project, 30 leaders representing 11 public hospitals in NYC attended the Conference, supported by a grant from the United Hospital Fund and with additional funding from NYC Health + Hospitals Corporation.
Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI)
 |
IPFCC’s two-year engagement award from PCORI for the project, “Creating Capacity for Sustainable Partnerships with Patients and Families in Research,” supported programming featuring partnerships in research at the Conference. Teams of patient/family advisors, researchers, and health care professionals from seven organizations participating in the project presented sessions and posters and took part in a working meeting to discuss ideas and preferences for the toolkit being developed as part of this project. A networking breakfast attracted over 45 people who wanted to connect with others interested in partnerships with patient and family advisors in research.
Patient-Centered Primary Care Collaborative (PCPCC)
The core concepts of patient- and family-centered care apply to all age groups and to all settings, including primary/ambulatory care. At the recent International Conference, almost 70 presentations (both oral and poster) focused on ambulatory and primary care. Presenters from the U.S. and Canada shared exemplary practices and programs which addressed both adult and pediatric patients and highlighted ways to partner with patients and families in care itself as well as in research, education, and peer support.
Conference Session Recordings
Conference audio recordings and session materials are available for purchase on the IntelliQuest Media website.
