A growing body of work—captured in peer-reviewed
literature and the experiences of hospitals and health
systems across the United States—highlights the benefits
of PFE, suggesting that successful implementation of PFE
practices can contribute to better outcomes. This PFE Roadmap provides practical guidance to help hospitals implement five PFE best
practices.

The purpose of the revised Roadmap is to provide practical guidance to help the Hospital Improvement Innovation Networks (HIINs), hospitals, and other PfP partners achieve a shared vision of PFE and meet the five PFE metrics.
The Roadmap contains information about:
• definition and core principles of PFE;
• role of PFE in patient safety;
• the intersection of PFE and health equity;
• definition, intent, and benefits of each PFE metric, as well as tips and resources to help
meet each metric and hospital success stories; and
• six PFE strategies to meet the five PFE metrics.

IPRO Hospital Quality Improvement (HQIC), Learning and Action Network (LAN) webinar on the All-Cause Harm focus are of Opioid Stewardship: April 26th 2021.
IPRO HQIC presented aggregate baseline data on the Opioid Stewardship Hospital Baseline Assessment and heard from a rural hospital on promoting the safe use of opioids (prescribing policy, scripted communication tools, alternatives to opioids, tracking prescribing practices, referral network for pain management, and MAT therapy).
In addition, IPRO HQIC highlight many salient opioid stewardship resources on processes that support the inclusion of patient and family engagement and health equity (stigma) in opioid stewardship efforts. These resources further support IPRO HQIC hospital efforts in All-Cause Harm reduction.

With the shift in the health care landscape from volume to value, more hospitals are engaging patients in their everyday hospital activities. Like any profession, learning from the consumer can provide great insight on how to provide better service. Integrating patient and family advisory councils (PFACs) within the hospital setting is an excellent approach to learn from patients and increase the quality of care delivered in a hospital. The toolkit underscores PFAC support with quality and safety, patient satisfaction, patient outcomes and market share.
