Who We AreThe Alliance for Person-Centered Care (the Alliance) is a group of stakeholders with a common interest in developing consensus proposals for incorporating person-centered care and the use of performance measures based on patient-reported data in clinical care and quality programs.Our VisionThe Alliance represents diverse stakeholders from across the health care sector committed to ensuring our health care system measures quality care based on people’s voices and experiences. We envision a health care future where quality measurement drives better communication between health care providers and the people they serve, promotes shared decision-making, reduces costs, and focuses on what matters most to the individuals receiving care. Our commitment is to pragmatic solutions that resonate with and positively impact patient health.

The Committee addresses complex scientific issues relating to medical devices, the regulation of devices, and their use by patients. Agency guidance and policies, clinical trial or registry design, patient preference study design, benefit-risk determinations, device labeling, unmet clinical needs, available alternatives, patient reported outcomes, device-related quality of life measures or health status issues are among the topics that may be considered by the Committee. The Committee provides relevant skills and perspectives in order to improve communication of benefits, risks and clinical outcomes, and increase integration of patient perspectives into the regulatory process for medical devices. It performs its duties by identifying new approaches, promoting innovation, recognizing unforeseen risks or barriers, and identifying unintended consequences that could result from FDA policy.

"Supporting Age-Friendly Health Systems: Implementing and Disseminating Person-Driven Outcome Measures," funded by The John A. Hartford Foundation and The SCAN Foundation, is designed to increase the use of person-driven outcome measures to improve care. The overall goal of this project is to increase the delivery of care that matters to older adults through wide use of measures that matter – person-driven outcome measures – for quality improvement and value-based payment. The desired outcomes of this three-year project are to incorporate the measures into at least one NCQA program, achieve national endorsement of the measures, implement an outreach campaign and communication strategy, and refine tools to support implementation and measure reporting. I am working with the NCQA project team to prioritize measure concepts and provide feedback on all major aspects of the project.

The Light Collective supports a trusted health community-driven and health community-governed online collective for peer support groups sharing health journeys, curated content, and research, and connecting individuals, including patients, caregivers, and clinicians. The Light Collective is transparently identified and committed to respecting patient privacy, and being held to account for doing so.The value of the collective governance is derived from the ability of an online community to make and carry out decisions. Stewardship of that value is for the benefit of the members who are part of that online community. Therefore, the potential for both individual and group benefit, and the potential for both individual and group harm, must be considered in decision-making.Websitehttps://lightcollective.org/Industry
