Patient and Family Advisory Council Improves Safety, Quality and the Patient
Experience
Working Together to Serve Our Communities Better at Robert Wood Johnson
University Hospital Rahway
At Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital (RWJUH) Rahway, we are committed
to listening to the voices of our patients and their family members and
acting on their feedback to improve the patient experience. If you have
been a patient or a family member of a patient who has been treated here,
we invite you to join our Patient and Family Advisory Council (PFAC).
Our PFAC is composed of a group of current and former patients, families
and hospital staff who work together to improve the patient experience
and quality of care.
The PFAC Mission
The PFAC is dedicated to strengthening collaboration between patients and
family members and the health care team to enhance RWJUH's ability to deliver
the highest standard of safe, comprehensive and compassionate care.
What Does a PFAC Do?
The PFAC helps to improve programs, services and policies within the organization
and promote a culture of patient- and family-centered care. Our PFAC helps
us learn from patients' diverse perspectives and firsthand experiences
and integrate their ideas into service delivery and quality improvement
efforts. PFAC members work closely with our Patient Experience Team, connecting
the patients and families with medical staff, clinicians and administrators
as partners to improve care delivery.
