Webinar Description:
Establishing a system to track and measure the process and outcomes of patient- and family-centered care is critical to creating and sustaining successful change in organizational culture. Providing this information in useful and compelling ways is important to assuring the support and commitment of senior executives and boards of trustees; it is also important to the work of patient and family advisory councils. Useful resources, dashboards, and other tools will be shared on this webinar.

Webinar Description:
One of the greatest challenges for providers is to discharge patients home safely and avoid re-hospitalization. One of the greatest challenges for the patients and families is to continue care safely at home. The purpose of this webinar is to examine how essential partnerships between patients, families, and staff can mitigate complications once the patient leaves the hospital.
Webinar Description:
For many, change can be difficult. Whether due to poor communication, a shift in routine, or lack of understanding the benefits of doing something differently, resistance to change can slow or prevent progress. This webinar will help you think through strategies to overcome staff resistance to the cultural transformation and to adopting changes that are necessary for successful implementation of patient- and family-centered care.
