• This study will use a two-part interview session with individuals via Zoom
– The first interview involves a process where individuals will review documents typically provided to patients at the end of their hospital stay and give their feedback (30 mins)
– The second interview is for the individual to share their previous patient care journey(s) and share their input on how it could have been improved (1.5-2 hrs)
– Preparation in advance is not required

The bottom line is because we’re caring for patients. People who know best are those who are receiving the care so it makes logical sense that we would consult with them about their experiences. By connecting with PVN we have been able to educate our teams about the value of patient partners and how important their perspective is in our services.
