Patient- and family-centred care (PFCC) is about providing respectful, compassionate, culturally responsive care that meets the needs, values, cultural backgrounds and beliefs, and preferences of patients and their family members in diverse backgrounds by working collaboratively with them. It is grounded in mutually beneficial partnerships among patients, families and healthcare providers.
In Saskatchewan, health system stakeholders have been actively engaging patients and families in planning, in development of policies and programs, and in quality improvement work.
The Patient First Review report, For Patients' Sake, recommended that "the Saskatchewan health system make patient- and family centred care (PFCC) the foundation and principle aim of the Saskatchewan health system through a broad policy framework to be adopted system wide." In response to this recommendation, a provincial framework for PFCC was developed and remains a priority for the Saskatchewan health system. It is committed to moving forward collectively to improve the patient experience across the care continuum.
Core Principles of Patient and Family Centred Care
Dignity and Respect: Patients and family/support persons perspectives are listened to and honoured. Patient and family knowledge, values, beliefs and cultural backgrounds are incorporated into the planning and delivery of care.
Information Sharing: Complete and unbiased information is shared with patients and families in ways that are timely, complete and accurate, to encourage participation in their care and decision making.
Participation: Patients and families are encouraged and supported to participate in their care and decision-making at the level they choose.
Collaboration: Health care leaders collaborate with patients and families in policy and program development, implementation, and evaluation in every aspect of patient and families health care.
Following the development of a PFCC framework, the Patient and Family Advisor (PFA) program is a Saskatchewan initiative to increase the involvement of patients and family members in planning and reviewing health care programs and services in our province. The program aims to actively engage patients and families in the Ministry’s work, including development, implementation and evaluation of health system policies and programs.
