we love love love to hear about this Brace, thank you! If you want to end with caring better for patients, you have to START with patients

Thank you so much, Brace, for sharing the importance of those with lived experiences!

Thank you, Emily, for your bravery to share your experience. So honored to know you and work alongside you. Very proud of you!

So insightful!

Emily & Brace- Thank you for sharing your experience and expertise!!! 💜 We are so fortunate to work with you!!!

Hopefully the headline would read "True Champions for Patients"

I love that.

I second Barbara.

“Patient Engagement maps successful new initiative”

I would love to involve our patients in the hospital team meetings to implement the QI projects. Headline "patients and family influence the care at DC birthing hospitals "

NPQIC worked with community partners to decrease disparities in maternal outcomes

Submit our grant application for CDC State PQCs! Ha!

I plan to ask a community organization leader to sit on our board

@Barb ha! YES!

same @barbara

Patient advisor on leadership team.

In Fl we invite someone with live experience to speak at our project meetings. Also for AWHONN FL on our FPQC panel we are having someone with lived experience to speak to the Nurses

We are looking into an "action committee” where we ask community members how to turn our ideas into actions.

We've started regional community meetings by perinatal region this year where 3 patient or community panelists share their input on hospital implementation of key QI strategies. I think in a year, we'd like to create a toolkit for hospitals to host a hospital community meeting and a "database" of resources to help hospitals connect with patients and community.

O love that Patti

We have podcasts with many patients/families.

Just a question - Has anyone been providing social work/mental health support for the families engaged in the work? The question of how much we should be asking of families and how much support we should be giving comes up often. It can be so heavy to continually be sharing - how do other folks support their families?

Our FIRST Program includes providers and patients. We do have a mental health provider in our current cohort and we have transparent conversations with our participants.

This why patient family partner READINESS is so important. This is why @MoMMAsVoices training includes steps that the patients are prepared to do this work.

For anyone that is PFP certified through MV, they are supported before, during and after the engagement by our coordinator. Also receives surveys to make sure the opportunity was meaningful and checking to see if they want to continue the work

Thank you all!

Also - in Colorado we have meetings as a cohort to touch base and feel supported outside of the programs we have chosen to get involved in. I think having that space to reflect and ask questions has been really helpful.

Thanks everyone!

thank you all!!
