Monday, August 29, 2011 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. - Denver Botanic Gardens - Gates Hall
What does person-centered care look like in a primary care setting? Why does it matter? And finally, how can you partner with the Colorado Health Foundation to advance the practice of person-centered care? For answers to these questions and more, join us for a special presentation from the Institute for Patient- and Family-Centered Care.
Why should you attend? Experts from the Institute will give an up close and personal look at what person-centered care looks like in the real world of health care from the perspective of patients, families, staff, physicians and administrators. In addition, you will have an opportunity to provide input for how this practice should look in Colorado. Following the presentation there will be a question and answer session. This is an excellent opportunity to establish a relationship with the Institute to brainstorm projects.
What will we discuss?
How to define person- and family-centered care
How to recognize what person- and family-centered care looks and feels like
Why it is important
What are the benefits of providing person- and family-centered care
What tools should be used to create effective partnerships
