Why should you attend?
Experts from the Institute will give an up close and personal look at what person-centered care looks like in the real world of health care from the perspective of patients, families, staff, physicians and administrators. In addition, you will have an opportunity to provide input for how this practice should look in Colorado. Following the presentation there will be a question and answer session. This is an excellent opportunity to establish a relationship with the Institute to brainstorm projects.

What will they discuss?

• How to define person- and family-centered care
• How to recognize what person- and family-centered care looks and feels like
• Why it is important
• What are the benefits of providing person- and family-centered care
• What tools should be used to create effective partnerships
• How to identify consulting, training and technical assistance opportunities

In 2012, the Colorado Health Foundation will be funding organizations and projects that advance the practice of person-centered care. Brenda Sears, program officer for Health Care, will be on hand to answer any questions you may have about applying for grants in this area.
