Patient and Family Centered Care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When healthcare professionals provide patient and family centered care (PFCC), staff satisfaction increases, patient outcomes <\/a>improve, and costs decrease. When hospitals recognize the importance of including patients and their families <\/a>as active team members, their needs can be prioritized. This allows patients to be more engaged <\/a>and leads to more effective treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to recognize that family members, both biological and chosen, play a key role in <\/a>caregiving, in hospital and after discharge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
