Patient and family engaged care (PFEC) is care planned, delivered, managed, and continuously improved in active partnership with patients and their families (or care partners as defined by the patient) to ensure integration of their health and health care goals, preferences, and values. It includes explicit and partnered determination of goals and care options, and it requires ongoing assessment of the care match with patient goals. This vision represents a shift in the traditional role patients and families have historically played in their own health care teams, as well as in ongoing quality improvement and care delivery efforts. PFEC also represents an important shift from focusing solely on care processes to aligning those processes to best address the health outcomes that matter to patients. In a culture of PFEC, patients are not merely subjects of their care; they are active participants whose voices are honored. Family and/or care partners are not kept an arm's length away as spectators, but participate as integral members of their loved one's care team. Individuals' (and their families') expertise about their bodies, lifestyles, and priorities is incorporated into care planning and their care experience is valued and incorporated into improvement efforts.

“…The interactive media system evaluated in this study were designed in response to the client‐, family‐ and clinician‐identified needs for accessible and safe play opportunities for clinic waiting spaces. It was designed with input from young people (with and without disabilities), families, clinicians, researchers, designers, building services, and senior management . Clear cause and effect, and absence of predefined goals, maximized cognitive accessibility.…”

“…To address the widespread need for accessible and safe play in health care spaces for young people with and without disabilities, we designed a hands‐free interactive media display . This paper presents a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of hands‐free interactive media in reducing young people's waiting anxiety and increasing satisfaction at an outpatient rehabilitation clinic.…”

“…Recent research on healthcare environments demonstrates how aspects of specific interior spaces, such as hallways, lobbies, waiting areas, NICUs, and patient rooms, significantly influence the perceptions and experiences of hospitalized children and their families (Adams, Theodore, Goldenberg, McLaren, & McKeever, ; Biddis, McPherson, Shea, & McKeever, ; Sadler & Joseph, ). Studies also reveal that children and adolescents have clear preferences in terms of the design and features of hospital settings in which they spend time (Coad & Coad, ; Coyne & Kirwan, ; Park, ).…”

This study uses the expertise of child life specialists to identify which elements support child life goals for hospitalized children. This study can be used to inform those interested in the optimal design of hospital playrooms. Ninety child life specialists were surveyed using a photograph methodology showing five actual child life playrooms from different hospitals. The participants were asked the following: rate each playroom on 14 dimensions; describe what was liked best about each playroom; and finally, rank order the playrooms based on their ability to support child life goals. Findings show that child life specialists were able to detect fine distinctions among hospital playrooms; thus, highlighting the important role that child life specialists can play in the design or modification of these spaces. Notably, using both Likert ratings and open-response questions, the value of biophilia in child life play spaces, specifically windows, light, and nature themes were revealed. In addition to biophilic attributes, the playrooms rated most favorably were those that contain pleasing color and décor and plenty of open space. Playrooms that promote sensory-motor and pretend play were also preferred.
