New AHRQ Video Series Highlights Innovations on Patient- and Family-Centered Care

AHRQ has released a new video series featuring three profiles of health care professionals sharing stories about how they are working in partnership with patients and families to improve the quality of health care services delivered at their facilities. The series, “Frontline Innovators on Providing Patient- and Family-Centered Care,” was developed as part of the AHRQ Health Care Innovations Exchange, an online repository of information where health professionals and researchers can share and learn about evidence-based practices and tools that can be adopted for use within an array of health care settings and populations. Stories highlighted in the videos explain how current and former patients and families advise a hospital on care improvement; how a day-treatment program partners with parents to support and stabilize children with dual psychiatric and chronic disease diagnoses; and how a hospital brings together the expertise of families and geriatric-trained staff to improve outcomes in a separate, seniors-only emergency department setting.
