Abstract:
Invitation of patients and their families as advisors in medical activities is conducive to enhancing patient safety and medical quality, as an innovative way for hospital reform and development. By analysis of such practice of overseas hospitals, the authors recommended on introducing this practice into China. The specific recommendations included creating a social support atmosphere for patient and family as advisors, promoting patient and family engagement by hospitals, establishing a management evaluation system for the patient and family engagement, improving the comprehensive literacy level of patient and family advisors, and building an internet platform for patient and family engagement.
