Connecting with patients and families during COVID-19 – Part 1

Two of the most significant challenges facing clinical practices today, to increase patient satisfaction and to meet patient demands, involve connecting with patients and families. Recognizing patient and family engagement (PFE) as a critical aspect of care, especially as COVID-19 has overhauled and overwhelmed care delivery models, Vizient and Sg2 have conducted ongoing assessments of patients and families to learn their attitudes during this crisis. In this episode, part one of a three-part series, we will discuss those patient-family assessments and what they reveal.
