The Conversation Project
The Conversation Project is dedicated to helping people talk about their wishes for end-of-life care. It’s not easy to talk about how you want the end of your life to be.

Workplan Template
We utilize the Workplan in an annual planning session with each of our member health organizations. This allows us the ability to meet organizations where they are in the journey to integrating a person centered healthcare model. It’s important to recognize resources currently available in your organization to support your integration efforts. For more about this tool or about Membership benefits, workplan-template please contact Stephen Hoy at stephen@pfccpartners.com
Framework for Person Family Engaged Care
American College of Physicians (ACP) Patient Education Resources
When first diagnosed with a chronic condition, such as diabetes, heart disease, or rheumatoid arthritis, patients can often feel frightened or overwhelmed. ACP has produced a series of patient education resources to support patient management of common issues. These resources also help patients ask important questions to their health care professional and reinforce the information provided during a visit.

Strategic Innovation Engine
Are you working to transform health care? CMS’ Quality Improvement Organization (QIO) program recently established the Stategic Innovation Engine (SIE) to advance health care quality. Its mission is to identify, evaluate and spread proven innovations to achieve the three-part aim of better care, healthier people/communities, and smarter spending.
If your organization has created or adapted an innovative practice in any of these five topics that has improved patient care, the SIE wants to hear from you.
- Managing multiple chronic conditions
- Engaging patients and families as active members of the care team
- Coordinating care within and across settings
- Streamlining patient flow
- Integrating behavioral health into care
Submit an application for consideration of your practice to be spread within the health care community. You’ll receive public recognition for the work you’ve done and broad dissemination of your practice through SIE Communications channels to foster spread throughout the health care community. We will brand the practice with the organization’s name and provide a web badge acknowledging its selection as an SIE-approved practice.

Stewarding Regional Health Transformation – A Guide for Changemakers
Transforming our regional health means whole-scale redesign and integration of all the forces that support health and wellbeing. To truly redesign local systems for radically better health, care, and economic prosperity in their regions, members of collaborative leadership teams must establish high aspirations and steward a change effort through distinct phases of transformation. They must create the long-term structures for active engagement of all the relevant participants—including residents—in stewarding shared resources. This Stewardship Guide is meant to help individual leaders and multisector collaborations create and sustain successful stewardship structures and change processes to lead regional transformation. It is meant for those who are looking to redesign their systems of health for radically better performance—creating and achieving a transformed system that will help individuals, families, and neighborhoods thrive with better health, lower costs, increased access to care, and improved equity and productivity for all.
