Turnkey Patient & Family Engagement Resources

Simple steps to safe and sound care for everyone depending on you.

Engaging patients and families with actionable healthcare knowledge is not just a best practice, it’s a necessity in today’s patient-centered care model. WHA partners with The Care Partner Project (TCPP) to help fill the gap.

There are proven quality and safety benefits when patients and families are informed and engaged in care.

Better Outcomes Through Health Literacy

Patients who understand their care plan are 30% less likely to be readmitted within 30 days and more likely to follow medication and treatment plans accurately.

Reduced Strain on Care Teams

Family Care Partners who are prepared and engaged act as effective allies in supporting their loved ones’ care and reduce communication gaps and administrative burdens.

Cost Savings for Members

Avoiding preventable readmissions and complications reduces penalties, and improves financial performance.

Improved Trust & Satisfaction

When patients and families feel confident and informed, they trust their care teams more, which can enhance HCAHPS scores and community reputation.

Stronger Safety Nets

Informed and engaged family members act as effective care allies, bridging communication and transition gaps, and helping prevent errors or complications.

Quality You Can Trust

TCPP’s Safe & Sound resources are grounded in best practices and align with the World Health Organization’s and CMS’s patient and family engagement priorities, giving your hospital a strategic advantage in meeting these standards.
