Webinar: Beyond Surveys: How Health Systems Engage Patients

Putting the consumer back in “Consumer Engagement” is important work. Health systems are increasingly engaging with consumers to ensure that consumer voices are more widely informing clinical practice. The Health Care Transformation Task Force (HCTTF) and the Center for Consumer Engagement in Health Innovation (CCEHI) released a case study report highlighting how three health systems – Children’s Mercy Kansas City, Trinity Health, and HRHCare – are implementing strategies to engage consumers and their families in governance and operational decision-making. HCTTF and CCEHI hosted a webinar featuring a patient panel with PFAC participants from two of the organizations featured in the case studies – Children’s Mercy Kansas City and Trinity Health. Each participant discussed how these systems’ patient engagement structures have improved the care experience for patients. Representatives from each organization also presented on their work with patients to create opportunities to build relationships and have ongoing dialogue using advisory councils.
