IPFCC has hosted numerous informal conversations on COVID-19 impact on patient- and family-centered care (PFCC). We want to take this conversation to a deeper level and need your assistance.
Funded by a grant from the New York State Health Foundation, IPFCC will offer a series of free webinars and online conversations across the continuum of care focused on PFCC during COVID-19.
In this next conversation, we will step back and review where we’ve been and what lies ahead. We want to support an ongoing dialogue, networking, and learning related to PFCC and bring in voices from other care settings. The July 16th conversation hopes to bring together individuals across the care continuum to discuss what is most important at this time. We will use the time to identify key issues and prioritize them. Your participation will help inform webinars, future informal conversations, and potentially identify resource needs. What strengths do you see across the community? How have partnerships been enhanced or damaged during the time? How are individuals being impacted by COVID-19 policies and practices and where can partnerships address these concerns? What are the burning issues in primary care and ambulatory settings as well as in continuing care retirement communities (CCRC). Bring your best ideas and most perplexing issues so we can capture what is happening out on the front lines and in our communities. We invite you to bring others in your network so that we have a broad representation.
These informal conversations are participatory in nature, building on the experience and strengths of those who join the call. We do not do a presentation but rather let the discussion be guided by what the participants want to learn more about through the sharing of our collective experiences. Come join the conversation to help us frame the conversation and development of resources and webinars as part of the ongoing project. Mary Minniti, Senior Policy and Program Specialist, will facilitate this discussion.
