We Are Not Visitors: Working Together with Family Caregivers and Care Partners

The patient experience is often different from the family or care partner experience. The Beryl Institute’s Global Patient and Family Advisory Board acknowledges this in their guidebook, “We are not visitors: Working together with family caregivers and care partners.” This guide for providers, care partners, policymakers and researchers is the foundation for this webinar’s panel discussion on what matters most to family members and care partners. With all that we are facing in healthcare today, there is no more important moment to stop and reflect on how we can re-think and rebuild relationships with patients’ loved ones.
