Abstract:
Consider a New Year's resolution to implement at lease one family-centered change in your practice in the upcoming year. New Health Partnerships, the Institute for Family-Centered Care, and the Initiative for Pediatric palliative care are among organizations whose websites offer information, guidance, curriculum materials, and tools related to implementing family-centered care. Nurses in any setting will find material here to inspire, encourage, and facilitate turning this New Year's resolution into reality. May the coming year be a good year for you ... and for the advancement of family-centered care. We'd love to hear back about the successes you have!
