The key topics will be reviewed with an Occupational Therapist after their surgery as well. This patient engagement opportunity is meant to provide the developers and OT staff with feedback on the layout, content and key messages from the short 1 page document.

Review sessions are anticipated to be 1 hour in length and done virtually through a video conference or phone call.

Seeking the patient perspective doesn’t have to be complicated; it simply entails a commitment to ask and listen. Patient advisors not only bring a valuable perspective but also share original ideas and unique skills. Including the patient and family perspective changes the conversation and aligns the team’s focus towards common goals.
