Compendium: Tools for Engaging Patients in Your Practice
Chapter 5: Fostering Partnership
In this video, Aligning Forces for Quality communities share tips for fostering partnership:
- Make it a partnership, not a parallel process.
- Give participants “get-to-know-you” time with each other.
- Create an atmosphere of equality and mutual respect from the outset.
- Signal to participants they’re part of your team—give them ID badges, or put up a photo of your patient advisors in the waiting room.
