Compensation for Patient Family Partners

Hello friends,

Thanks to all who were able to join us for the PFAnetwork Virtual Meeting last week. We had a great discussion about current compensation efforts for patient family partners. Zal Press shared a paper that he collaborated on with the Beryl Institute related to compensation. In addition we talked about the Compensation Guidelines created by the PFAnetwork Compensation Workgroup in 2018. These are great resources, which help to make the case for compensation.

As PFCCpartners has moved forward in its journey to create equity and increase diversity through inclusive activities, it has become clear that compensation strongly affects equal representation in PFA efforts and our network. To continue doing that, we need your help. We would like to know more about the ways you have been compensated, or not compensated, in your partnership activities. We know that compensation practices have matured in the last couple of years and believe PFAnetwork members have helpful insights.

We would like to support the community by creating a current set of preferred practices for compensation from your perspective. Please take five minutes to respond to the survey linked here. The more specific your responses, the more clarity we can gather as a community. All responses will be kept anonymous and we will share the results with PFAnetwork members. We have made progress, but together we can continue to move the compensation practices forward.

Enjoy your summer days, doing your favorite things!

Be well,

Libby

PFCCpartners, Founder + CEO
