Opportunity Purpose
We would like to involve patients to create a tool to predict when medical problems may happen after bowel surgery (colectomy), to help guide patient education and self-monitoring.

What’s Involved
We would like to hear about how the tool would be most helpful to patients: what information would patients want, how to present the information?

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.
