Meeting of the Minds 2010: Patients Top of Mind

June 22, 2010 to June 23, 2010

“Those of us who have worked to advance patient-centred care tend to forget that few people outside healthcare have ever heard of it. … They (patients) need to know where and how they can partner with professionals to achieve the best possible outcome. They need to feel included and informed and respected and empowered.”
– Patrick Conlon, author, caregiver and advocate

To create a patient-centred system and improve people’s healthcare experiences, we need new accountabilities, alignments, and attitudes. To build a true partnership with the people who use healthcare and redesign services around their ongoing needs and preferences, we need to listen and learn from their lived stories, both positive and painful. Those themes, among others, emerged during The Change Foundation’s 3rd annual Meeting of the Minds: Rethinking Health Services with Patients Top of Mind, June 22-23, 2010.
