* 3. Pledge

Our organization (or unit, if applicable) recognizes family members, as designated by the patient, as partners in care. As one concrete step toward creating a culture of patient- and family-centered care, we commit to:

Undertake initial leadership action steps to:
• Review our organization's policy and website, with input from patients, families, clinicians, and other staff.
• Elicit input from patients and families about their experience of hospital "visiting" policies.
• Complete the Better Together Organizational Self-Assessment
• Review other Better Together resources on CFHI’s website
• Other relevant steps that become apparent during the process

Develop a family presence policy that enables patients to designate one or more partners in care who are welcome in the hospital 24 hours a day.

Implement a family presence policy and monitor the impacts of this change in practice.
