The Power of Patient-Centered Care

Hospitals are improving the health and well-being of communities through a care model that fosters collaboration between clinicians, patients and their support systems. Person- and Family-Centered Care (PFCC) — often referred to as Patient and Family Engagement (PFE) — is an approach to care delivery that has been shown to improve health outcomes, lower costs, enhance patient experience and boost overall staff satisfaction. In this episode of the MiCare Champion Cast, two members of the MHA Person & Family Engagement Advisory Council from MyMichigan Health and Michigan Medicine provide first-hand insight on the powerful impact of PFE. It also provides actionable ways for healthcare teams to implement PFE and uplift its value to hospital leadership. Guests include Michelle Brady, MSHAL, BSN, RN, CPXP, director, patient experience and relations, MyMichigan Health and Michele Mitchell, BS, MS, PMP, a nationally recognized patient advocate and breast cancer survivor.
