Person/Patient and Family Engagement (PFE)
Person/Patient and Family Engagement (PFE) is a way to describe people, their families, and health professionals working together in collaboration. PFE builds relationships between the individual seeking care, the provider, and the healthcare system. It shapes care around individual patient needs. PFE is critical during every interaction across the entire healthcare industry – hospital, community, rehabilitative centers, and ambulatory care. Explore the resources below:
