As health care evolves to become more patient-centered in both care delivery and payment, the PCPCC’s Support and Alignment Network (SAN) aims to assist patient, family, and clinician partners in their collaborative efforts towards quality improvement and practice transformation.

New to our conference this year, we are offering a special training for clinicians and their patient, family and/or community partners. This training provides the opportunity to learn alongside your patient partners, identifying “best practices” and strategies for quality improvement and care redesign. You will also learn the best ways to integrate patient- and family-centered care principles into care design throughout your organization, how to effectively perform in your respective roles, and more!

Scholarship opportunities available! Apply here.
