  • New Survey for Tracking Impact of COVID-19 on Family Presence and Role of PFACs

    Please take a moment to complete the survey.

    We invite all who are interested to complete the survey, particularly:

    • Hospital Administrators
    • Patient Care Unit Leaders (e.g., nurse manager, medical director, unit supervisor)
    • PFCC Coordinators/Directors
    • Patient/Family Advisory Council Members or other advisor roles



    IPFCC teamed up with UCSF Department of Family Health Care Nursing, School of Nursing and the University of Washington School of Nursing to develop a survey to gather information about changes to hospital and health system policies and practice due to COVID-19. The survey also explores how hospitals are engaging patient and family advisors in planning and implementing changes. Data (de-identified) from the survey will be reported on both IPFCC and PTBi websites so that results can be used by all to improve patient care as we continue our work to lessen the impact of COVID-19 on patients and families.

    Let’s all share and learn what’s happening in hospitals and work together with patients and families to promote partnership and best practices!
