Person and family engagement (PFE) is recognized by the Centers
for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) as a promising way to
address health and health care disparities and achieve equity in

partners in their health care. Doing so can help ensure that all
patients reap the benefits of engagement in their healthcare.
