AIR led a team of organizations to develop, implement, and evaluate a “Guide to Patient and Family Engagement in Hospital Safety and Quality.” Funded by AHRQ, the Guide encourages safer, higher quality care by facilitating patient and family involvement in improving hospital experiences, care delivery, and outcomes.

This tested, evidence-based guide helps hospitals work as partners with patients and families around four specific strategies. Each strategy contains an implementation handbook and tools for patients, families, and clinicians.
