PQCNC is pleased to announce that we will be offering educational opportunities for patients and family members serving as advisors or in other partnership roles within your organization.
These courses are designed to provide patients and family members with the education, tools and strategies necessary to be effective partners in improving the quality, safety and experience of healthcare. While you can choose to bring any single course to your facility, completion of the full set of four courses provides the most comprehensive knowledge base possible and allows participants to complete a Capstone Project, resulting in a Certificate in Patient Family Leadership. The Capstone Project requires participation in a 1-hour webinar, development and implementation of a Small Test of Change to be carried out in your organization as part of a PQCNC project, and presentation of results at a PQCNC learning session.
To bring the course or courses to your facility or for questions regarding the courses or certificate, please contact Tara Bristol Rouse .
