1. Complete the PIPC Survey and Improve Health Policy by Sharing Resources with Policymakers!
The Partnership to Improve Patient Care (PIPC) compiled a list of patient-centered resources that policymakers can and should be using to inform their development of public policy. We know that groups representing patients and people with disabilities know the populations they serve better than anyone, and that patients and people with disabilities bring credible and insightful data to the table. We would very much appreciate you providing to us though this survey a list of the resources your organization is willing and able to provide to inform the development and implementation of new payment models, quality measures and shared decision-making tools. Hopefully, this work will facilitate more direct engagement of patients and people with disabilities in policymaking. Click here to fill out PIPC’s survey.

2. Philadelphia Inquirer: Patient-centered care is all the rage. But why are so few patients receiving it?
According to a recent opinion piece published in the Philadelphia Inquirer, “Whether it is overly complex billing systems, lack of transparency in quality and cost, fragmented and uncoordinated care, or hurried, harried and inattentive clinicians, our healthcare system seems to be more about meeting the needs of everyone but the patient… I wish I had an answer for why we are still not delivering patient-centered care to so many…. I believe that the medical profession, and those of us who claim to advocate for patients, must acknowledge our failures. We must recommit ourselves to doing everything possible so that we don’t surrender patients to a healthcare system that doesn’t seem to care about them, and to advocate for reforms to truly put patients at the center of the health care system. This all starts with listening to patients, including those like Jess who now speak to us from the grave.” Click here to view the article.
