  1. Patient Advisory Council:“Nothing about us without us”Bedlam Patient Advisory Council:“Nothing about us without us” • OUR TEAM: • Faculty Sponsor: Kirsten Havig • Student Champion: Renee Engleking • Bryce Manning, Stephanie Garrett, Emilie Dempsey & Kathy Strunk • THE VISION: • A forum for diverse patients to be heard and to impact the systems that impact them • Truly patient-centered, community-connected care • Substantive engagement with the health care system • Empowerment and skill development translates to other areas of patients’ lives

  2. Our current reality • Patients report their desire to be heard by health care providers…we need more mechanisms to meet this need • No current patient representation at the OU Bedlam Clinic (Dr. Whitt, 8/1/12) • Other health care organizations employ successful patient advisory councils with positive impacts for patients and communities • Underrepresented populations have much to offer = missed opportunities!

  3. The Prototype… The Council will provide feedback about patient-identified issues, based on experience and unique perspective, regarding community health needs, relevant barriers and supports, and solutions, in order to inform and improve service • Self- or staff-nominated for membership rotation • Training on systems and processes for 9 diverse members • Regular meetings with resources for child care, transportation, meals, translation, facilitation • Review materials, policies, and programs • Elected representative to serve on Bedlam Board • Provide recommendations and ideas
