Patient and Family Engagement is Everyone’s Job: Are YOU doing enough?

Remember the importance of patient and family engagement (PFE) to the successful completion of the QIN-QIO contract: PFE is everyone’s job. Here are some concrete things you should be doing:

  • Consider recruiting at least one (1) beneficiary/caregiver to be your informal Patient Partner. Choose someone who you enjoy working with on a personal level. Seek this person’s feedback on your Task team’s activities.
  • If your task(s) require beneficiary participation in LAN activities], then choose LAN activities/events you believe might be of interest to your Patient Partner, then invite them via your Outlook email by forwarding the invitation created in Constant Contact.Get their feedback on how LAN activities might be improved and share that with your team.
  • When planning LAN events, make every effort to
  • Kick off all webinars or podcasts with a patient story
  • Include a patient on all panel discussions
  • Have a participating provider organization share their PFE success story on a webinar or podcast at least quarterly
  • Reach out to your SME(s) when you have ideas about how to involve the atom Advisory Council members in your improvement activities
  • Solicit feedback from the Advisory Council about any Patient Education materials you are recommending to providers or developing from scratch. Please do this by asking your SME to work with the Advisory Council Workgroup Lead
  • Watch for - and report - PFE success stories from the participating provider organizations to which you are providing technical assistance to your task(s) to your SME(s) and the Advisory Council Workgroup Lead for possible inclusion in a monthly Advisory Council meeting.

When you work with patients and caregivers report it in SmartSheet so we can include your good work in the COR Report. Here is a link to the form:

Tip of the Week:Try Virtual Brainstorming, Voting, Feedback and other Energizers
One way to engage participants during a virtual meeting is to conduct a vote or brainstorm. WebEx and other virtual meeting platforms offer built-in voting mechanisms, but there are other free and low-cost tools you can try. For virtual brainstorming, tryBoardthing which allows users to share ideas on a virtual sticky note board. Free and premium accounts are available. Another tool, Lino, offers a similar service where participants use virtual sticky notes in various colors to share their ideas.
