Starting and Sustaining a Patient Advisory Board

Why Utilize Patient Advisory Boards?

One way to begin the process of advancing patient centered care is by involving patients and families in the design of care. At San Francisco General’s Family Health Center we do this with the help of the Patient Advisory Boards (PAB).

The purpose of a Patient Advisory Board is for patients to provide their unique and invaluable perspective to clinic management, staff, and providers about how to make improvements, with the goal of better serving all clinic patients.
