Additional Patients Needed for Our Patient Advisory Council

We are seeking additional patients that represent the diversity of our State to join the newly convened Patient Advisory Council. Can you recommend a patient to this group? There is no up-front commitment and patients will be compensated for their time.  

We’re looking for patients who:

• Have been an active participant in their care
• Ask thoughtful questions during appointments
• Are good listeners
• Would likely be confident to speak among a group of patients

If your hospital has an Office of Patient Experience, or other way to organize patient volunteers, it may be helpful to utilize it. When you approach potential patients, share that we want the Patient Advisory Council to help us improve the quality of care for PCI patients, and that activities may include the following: Quarterly teleconference or zoom meetings of the patient advisory council

• Attending BMC2 meetings as speakers/discussants

• Advising on tools to help improve care delivery

Send patient’s name and contact info to Annemarie Forrest, avassalo@umich.edu; or Pam Benci, plf@umich.edu
