Background and context • Dana-Farber’s PFACs were first established in the
1990’s• PFAC members participated on Dana-Farber led
committees • PFAC’s reputation, credibility, and maturity continued to
grow • Dana-Farber transitioned to more of a project culture
(2011-2014)• Demographics of PFAC evolved and 90% of our Council
members worked full-time outside of their volunteer role (less flexibility for committees)
Background and context
• Completed an assessment in 2015 • Conducted 1:1 interviews with staff, leadership, and
clinicians
• The assessment led to three conclusions:ØThere was limited awareness of PFACs role and how
and when to engage membersØStaff mostly heard about PFAC through word of
mouthØThere was limited marketing about PFAC
An idea to create a PFAC marketing team…
Developed the team infrastructure • Determine and engage key stakeholders• Determine project manager and roles of each member• Establish a platform and schedule for the team to meet• Establish a project plan for tracking and accountability
Answered key questions • What is the mission?• Who is the audience?• What are our goals, objectives, and timelines?• How do we ensure the project team is patient and family • driven?
1. Understood our stakeholders
Director and Associate Director of Content/Creative Services (2)
Adult PFAC Members (5)
Project Manager (1)
Pediatric PFAC Members (3)
2. Set up a format that would guarantee participation
Given the group consisted of patients, caregivers, and DFCI partners we wanted the schedule and platform to be as flexible as possible
We established bi-weekly 30 minute phone calls, which members were not required to RSVP or attend every meeting
The agenda for each call is pulled directly from the project plan and participants are assigned updates
PFAC members’ ideas are always considered and they given the necessary staff support, resources, and connections to be successful
3. Followed the mission of PFAC• To help disseminate information and implement services
that affect our patients and their families. • To support patients and their families becoming informed
advocates for their care.
• To offer a patient and family voice. • To initiate ideas for policies, programs, projects, and
services within the patient care environment.• To provide ongoing opportunities to hear the voices,
experiences, and perspectives of patients and families.
4. Developed a project plan
First project plan (2015)GOALS1. Internal audience (patients and staff):
– Educate staff about goals and mission of
councils
– Educate staff about how to seek guidance
from the councils
– Help key staff recruit patients and family
members to serve on councils
2. External audience: – Position Dana-Farber as leader in
patient/family centered care
– Voice of the patient heard and respected
throughout organization
– Recruit patients and family members to
serve on council
