This resource highlights key learnings and recommendations for strengthening partnerships with patients and families. It is intended for hospitals that are developing patient and family advisory councils (PFACs), as well as those with well-established councils. Guidance in the resource is based on a study by the Institute for Patient- and Family-Centered Care and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. The study explores the prevalence and characteristics of PFACs in children’s hospitals, as well as factors that contribute to their effectiveness.
