Family Engagement Guide

This guide will help pediatric practices determine if they are ready to work with families as improvement partners, how to recruit and work with family health partners and how to evaluate, sustain and improve the family health partners role and relationship.

Also included here are an article for parents deciding on who to talk to about their children with disabilities and special health needs and a self-assessment tool for patient and family-centered care.

This guide is a product of Mass Family Voices, a project at the Federation for Children with Special Needs and NICHQ. Funding was provided by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) through grant funds issued pursuant to CHIPRA section 401(d).
