Podcast explores how nursing leadership benefits PFACs

Patient and Family Advisory Councils (PFACs) can provide an effective way to help patients’ voices reach health care institutions and providers, identify the needs of patient populations, and align patient and clinician views. In a four-part Advancing Health podcast series from the American Hospital Association (AHA), leaders in this area explore the important role of PFACs as hospitals navigate the COVID-19 pandemic. In this episode, AONL CEO Robyn Begley, who is also AHA CNO and senior vice president of workforce, and Pamela Rudisill, senior vice president and chief nursing officer at Community Health Systems, based in Franklin, Tenn., discuss the value of nursing leadership in PFACs.
