Slide 1
- Patient and Family Centered Care (PFCC) is associated with high patient satisfaction and positive outcomes for Total Joint Replacement Patients.
Slide 2
The Innovation
- The PFCC model at Magee-Womens Hospital of University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) is a comprehensive, systems based approach that focuses on meeting the multiple, on-going needs of patients and families through the full cycle of care. The initiative, which was piloted within the Total Joint Replacement program, is organized around the patient's experience, including pre-surgical care, the actual surgery and post-surgical intervention and rehabilitation.
Slide 3
What is PFCC?
- Definition:
PFCC, Patient and Family Centered Care, is a redesign of patient
care so that the hospital resources and personnel are organized
around the needs of the patients and families rather than around
various specialized hospital departments. PFCC is a methodology
to achieve the goal.
Slide 4
PFCC Methodology
- A new approach to the care of our Patients.
- It is a process and methodology.... It is a mind set and the culture!
Slide 5
The PFCC Journey will result in...
- Providing unique Patient and Family Experiences—not just services.
- Adaptive Learning Environment.
- Branding and Differentiation derived by the "experience."
- Dream Health Care Team.
- A Focus...a Passion...a Team and Health Care Champions!

Effective
The bar graph measures "Patients discharged without handheld assistance directly to home" at 91.0% and "Patients reported that pain was not an impediment to PT [physical therapy] (including same day of surgery PT)" at 99.0%.
Slide 13
Patient Centered
The bar graph measures "Press Ganey Mean Satisfaction Score" at 91.4% and "Positive Responses to "Would refer family and/or friend'" at 99.7%.
- 99th National Percentile Ranking.
Slide 14
Efficient
The bar graph measures "Total Knee Replacement" for total joint replacement (TJR) patients average length of stay (ALOS) at 2.8 days and for National ALOS at 3.9 days. "Total Hip Replacement" for TJR Patients ALOS is 2.7 days and for National ALOS, 5.0 days.
Slide 15
Exporting the PFCC Methodology
The PFCC methodology can be exported to any Care Experience, not just TJR. The following is a list of active working groups and areas in which PFCC has been successfully exported:
