Special Projects PFAC
This unique PFAC engages individuals that are not associated with a specific PFAC, in the co-design of processes and work within multiple areas across Duke University Health System to provide the patient and family perspective on patient care initiatives, projects, programs, and facilities that impact the patient experience. Such areas could include, but are not limited to: DUH Communications, Care Re-Design projects, Bite-Size Quality Initiative Projects, Research, Patient Education and more. Projects vary and are subject to availability and timing.
