The MHA, in conjunction with its statewide Person & Family Engagement (PFE) Advisory Council, is excited to offer the PFE Improvement Sprints, a webinar series designed to help hospitals and health systems amplify PFE efforts. The foundation for the PFE Improvement Sprint is the MHA Roadmap to Person and Family Engagement, which outlines standardized definitions, policies and practices to help leaders and staff develop or improve PFE efforts across their organization.
The first webinar, Hospital Staffing and Structures Needed to Support and Coordinate PFE Activities, will take place from noon to 1 p.m. April 30. Speakers will share examples of ways to build leadership support and engage, whether the hospital is launching a Patient and Family Advisory Council or engaging patients within different patient care units.
The second webinar, Deploying PFE Roadmap Strategies to Improve Patient Safety and Quality, Outcomes, Experiences, and Support Hospital Priorities, will take place from noon to 1 p.m. May 21. Speakers will outline how to involve patients and families in achieving better care outcomes, like understanding medications and how to involve patient advisors in fall prevention processes.
These webinars are free of charge. Chief nurse and medical executives, patient experience and relations professionals, quality and safety professionals, social work professionals, case managers and nursing staff are encouraged to register.
Questions about MHA membership or registration for the webinar series should be directed to Brenda Carr at the MHA.
