General Session II:
Susan Frampton, Planetree
"The Brave New World of Patient and Family Engagement-2016 Policy and Practice Update"
SESSION DESCRIPTION:
The engagement of patients and families in the design and coordination of health care services at the levels of policy, organization and direct delivery has become a centerpiece of current healthcare improvement efforts. Legislation supporting, and in some instances mandating, explicit and meaningful involvement is accelerating nationally, regionally and locally through efforts tied to the Affordable Care Act, including the CMS Partnership for Patients, Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH), Value-Based Purchasing and the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI). Dr. Susan Frampton, patient rights advocate, patient-centered policy expert, and president of Planetree – the oldest patient and family engagement non-profit in the US, sits at the center of this movement. Dr. Frampton, a medical anthropologist, currently co-chairs the National Quality Forum’s National Quality Partnership and their Advanced Illness Care Action Team, and chairs the National Academy of Medicine’s Scientific Advisory Panel on the Evidence-Base for Patient-Engaged Care. She understands what it takes to translate both research and policy into change strategies that deliver the practical outcomes our healthcare system is committed to accomplishing in the quest to reach the Triple Aim.
