Patient and Family Engagement for Primary Care: Webinar Series
In 2015, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) sponsored the development of a Guide to Improving Patient Safety in Primary Care Settings by Engaging Patients and Families. The Guide includes four interventions to engage patients and families in ways to support improvements in patient safety, not just quality. As part of the Guide’s dissemination activities, AHRQ hosted a series of webinars on each of the Guide’s interventions.
Note: Resources on this page were used in testing the Guide to Improving Patient Safety in Primary Care Settings by Engaging Patients and Families. The materials were improved as a result of the testing process. You can find the final version of the Guide at: https://www.ahrq.gov/patient-safety/reports/engage.html.
