Partnerships with Patients and
Families to Enhance Quality and Safety
WASHINGTON, DC provides a dynamic backdrop for
The 5th International Conference on Patient- and FamilyCentered Care: Partnerships for Quality and Safety. The
nation’s capital is recognized as the most historic and influential city in
the United States…where the passion of the past meets the promise of
the future. Here, inspiration is nurtured, innovation is celebrated, and
partnerships are formed.
And, here is where those who are determined to improve the safety, quality,
and experience of health care will come together June 4–6, 2012 to share
exemplary programs dedicated to authentic collaboration among patients, families, health care professionals, and policy
c o n f e r e n c e
ov e r v i e w
specialists. This International Conference offers an exciting program that will guide, inspire, and motivate you.
Now is an important time to be
involved in improving health care.
These demanding times require
inspired leadership, innovative
solutions, and enduring partnerships to
bring about change.
The 5th International Conference on
Patient- and Family-Centered Care:
Partnerships for Quality and Safety will
offer patient- and family-centered
strategies that address the increasing
challenges in health care such as rising
costs, fluctuating patient satisfaction
scores, and delivering safe and quality
care for each and every patient—
reducing readmissions, decreasing
infections, and providing safe
care transitions.
International experts and innovators
will examine patient- and familycentered approaches and best practices
to help guide your organization in
developing stronger partnerships with
patients and families on every level.
Participants will learn cutting-edge
innovations that improve the health
care experience and keep patients from
getting injured or sicker, and help them
heal without complications.
The Institute for Patient- and Family-Centered Care is
grateful for the leadership support of the Samueli Institute
and the Picker Institute for helping to bring this conference
to DC. We are proud to partner with these exemplary
organizations and to highlight their significant work in
advancing the practice of patient- and family-centered care.
We are also grateful to the following organizations for
providing conference program support:

In addition to the strong programming
featuring best practices in patient- and
family-centered care initiatives from
programs around the U.S. and the
world, the Institute for Patient- and
Family-Centered Care is partnering
with two innovative non-profit
organizations that focus on improving
health care:
•The Samueli Institute will present
a series of sessions that highlight
effective strategies for creating,
implementing, and evaluating
mind-body programs and practices
within a patient- and family-centered
context. Experts in mind-body skills,
program evaluation, and patientand family-centered care and
program delivery will lead discussion
panels and showcase exemplary
programs; and
•The Picker Institute will present
the Picker Patient Experience Series
which identifies seven presentations,
including the Picker Lecture by
Dr. Don Berwick, and several
posters that depict innovation in
patient-centered care, emphasizing
partnerships with patients and
families in health care. Several
featured presentations are Picker
Institute’s 2011/2012 Always Events®

outcomes. Throughout the conference,

Special Programming
The Institute for Patient- and Family-Centered Care is proud to partner
with these two leading non-profit organizations dedicated to improve
health care:
Samueli Institute’s Vision is “a world
in which healing processes are the
formative concept for achieving and
maintaining wellness and ameliorating
chronic disease.” During the conference,
Samueli will convene three dedicated
sessions that focus on mind-body
programming: 1) Developing and
Implementing Mind-Body Programs
and Practices Within a Patient- and
Family-Centered Framework;
2) Evaluating Mind-Body Programs and
Practices Within a Patient- and FamilyCentered Framework; and
3) Showcasing Mind-Body Programs
and Practices Within a Patient- and
Family-Centered Framework: The
Lived Experience.
These sessions are identified in the
program brochure by:
Based upon a review of existing efforts
to measure and improve patientcentered care, Picker determined that
an organizing principle focused on
the concept of Always Events® can
be implemented to drive the health
care system to become more patientcentered. In contrast to the well known
“Never Events” that refer to incidents
that should never happen in the delivery
of care, patient-focused Always Events®
are aspects of the patient and family
experience that should always occur
when patients interact with health care
professionals and the delivery system.
The Picker Patient Experience Series is
identified in the brochure by:
“Truly an outstanding
conference…a career
investment!”

Meetings — Productive Meeting Facilitation
Putting Family-Centered Care into Action: Using
Simulation Training to Achieve Partnerships to Improve
Patient Outcomes

infants and their families
through a coordinated
program of research, education, and quality improvement
projects. VON has included family advisors on
multidisciplinary improvement teams since 1998 in the
context of the Neonatal Intensive Care Quality (NICQ)
Collaboratives. The role of family advisors in these
collaboratives has evolved and deepened as new
opportunities for incorporating the family perspective have
been created. Family advisors are equal members of the
multidisciplinary teams that have examined improvements
across many different clinical areas and have served as
faculty for the most recent improvement collaboratives. This

Strategies to Achieve Patient-Centered Primary
Care: What Are We Doing at the Innovation Center
at CMS?
Richard J. Baron, MD, Director, Seamless Care Models Group,
Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation; U.S. Department

New models of primary care delivery will
require new models of payment support.
Those who provide Primary Care are
frustrated by the challenges they face in
meeting their patients’ needs, and are very
open to re-designing their practices. New
models of payment can be designed to
provide the support providers need to design their practices
based on patient needs rather than volume of visits.
Engaging patients as design partners in these efforts will be
critical to success.

When Care Is Patient- and Family-Centered:
• People are treated with dignity and respect. Patient and family
knowledge, values, beliefs, and cultural backgrounds are
incorporated into the planning and delivery of care.
• Health care providers communicate and share complete and
unbiased information with patients and families in ways that are
affirming and useful.
• Patients and families are supported and encouraged in
participating in care and decision-making at the level they choose.
• Collaboration among patients, families, health care leaders,
and providers occurs in policy and program development,
implementation, and evaluation; facility design; and professional
education, as well as in the delivery of care.
