On the road to improving healthcare quality, efficiency, and outcomes, the patient should take the wheel, not be left behind on the curb. This transition from provider-centered to patient-centered care is critical to the success of new care models.
The upcoming meeting of the Kansas Association of Health Care Executives (KAHCE) will include a session entitled, “Integrating the Principles of Patient-Centered Care.” PYA Principal Martie Ross will serve as moderator for this session. Topics to be addressed include:
- Key principles of patient-centered care (PCC)
- Shared decision making in clinical care
- Proven patient engagement strategies
- The use and value of patient outcome metrics
- Cultural understanding and culturally competent care
- The Planetree Model and other early adopters of PCC
- Clinical outcomes research supporting patient-focused care
- The business case for PCC in light of value-based purchasing
- Physical and operational obstacles and barriers to PCC
Attendees for this session will receive 1.5 hours ACHE Face-to-Face Credits.
KAHCE’s spring conference will be April 25 and 26 in Wichita, Kansas. View more information here.
