The Guide to Patient and Family Engagement in Hospital Quality and Safety is an evidence-based resource to help hospitals improve quality and safety by engaging patients and family members.* Patient and family engagement creates an environment in which clinicians, hospital staff, patients, and families work together as partners to improve the quality and safety of care.
Creating an organizational structure with a place for patient and family engagement helps ensure responsibility and accountability for progress. The specific organizational structure for patient and family engagement and patient-and family-centered care will vary from organization to organization.
Informal recognition can include newsletter articles, employee-of-the-month programs, and other awards or prizes to recognize and honor individuals or departments.(1) For example, one academic medical center awards a mobile patient satisfaction trophy each quarter to the department with the highest score on a particular Press Ganey satisfaction survey question and to the department that shows the most improvement each quarter. These awards have a major effect on staff morale and behaviors. Winning departments receive recognition within the organization, including being featured prominently in an internal newsletter.(16) Similarly, Anne Arundel Medical Center awards a most improved banner to individual units based on patient satisfaction scores.
Senior leaders can communicate and interact directly with patients and family members in ways that publicly emphasize two-way communication. For example, the former chief executive officer of the University of Colorado Hospital in Aurora, CO, started a program whereby patients and family members could send him feedback about their experiences via email. He responded to each email personally and often forwarded relevant messages to appropriate staff so that they could see the feedback, whether positive or negative.(2) This program sent a strong signal to the entire organization on the importance of listening to patients and families.

Mission and vision statements are tangible representations to clinicians, staff, patients, and families of a hospital’s commitment to patient and family engagement. They also help create a pathway for change by fostering a shared sense of purpose and prioritizing critical elements.(7)
A hospital’s strategic plan can help lay out how patient and family engagement fits into organizational processes on a daily, operational basis. For example, as part of a process to integrate various entities under a common organizational umbrella, the University of Wisconsin Health system in Madison, WI, added “service excellence” as a formal strategic pillar. In defining service excellence, the strategic plan emphasized the organization’s focus on patient-and family-centered care and patient and family engagement. The strategic focus on service excellence led to several specific initiatives, including allowing family members on hospital units 24 hours a day, creating patient and family advisory councils, and including patients and families on various quality and safety committees.(10) At Patewood Memorial Hospital, the strategic pillar of “service” includes an explicit recognition of the focus on patients and families. This is also reflected in the Philosophy of Professional Nursing, which is based on patient- and family-centered care and the Planetree model of patient-centered care. Anne Arundel Medical Center formally incorporates patient- and family-centered care into their organizational goals and strategic plans. For example, in fiscal year 2012, implementing bedside shift report hospital-wide was an organizational goal in the strategic plan. Anne Arundel Medical Center’s written policies and procedures also reflect the value placed on patient- and family-centered care, acknowledging the importance of information sharing, participation, and collaboration between staff, patients, and families.
