Partnering with Patients and Families... Recommendations and Promising Practices

This publication, with funding support from the California HealthCare Foundation, is based on
the deliberations and key recommendations that emerged from a meeting convened by IPFCC
in collaboration with the Institute for Healthcare Improvement and funded by the Robert Wood
Johnson Foundation. Highlighted are examples of best practices drawn from hospitals,
ambulatory programs, medical and nursing schools, funders of health care, patient- and family-
led organizations, and other health care entities.
