Family Advisory Council
The Family Advisory Council (FAC), composed of family members of patients and hospital staff, provides feedback and guidance to Rady Children’s staff. This helps to ensure that families have a voice in decisions that can affect them.
Established in 2010, the FAC has provided valuable input and recommendations on the delivery of services, as well as policies and procedures.
Our accomplishments include:
- Establishing the Partners in Care green armband
- Providing input into the code blue policy
- Getting improved parking/elevator signage
- Getting additional translation services
- Extending visiting hours
We are working to get:
- Family-centered physician rounds
- Family presence when anesthesia is given
- Input into the employee dress code
- Electronic patient education at the bedside
- Increased parent liaison presence
- Input into quality data/metrics
