Members Absent: Eric M., Jay

 

Guests Present: Zoe, Eric W.

 

  1. June minutes approved.
  2. Information provided regarding the content of the mandatory hospital orientation for volunteers.  Lauren was able to attend the June orientation, and reported that the orientation was helpful in understanding how the ACFAC fits into the hospital and its goals.  It provided information relevant and practical to the patient advisory councils.
  3. The next volunteer orientation will be held in the Blake Wilbur conference room, the room in which the ACFAC meetings are held.  Since the orientation is 4 hours long, it will be split up into 2 sessions, the first being Wed August 15th from 5-7p and the second being August 29th from 5-7p.
  4. It was brought up that current new patients to the Adult CF clinic receive a new patient folder, and in that folder is an old and outdated brochure about the ACFAC.  Currently, there is no contact information.  The council discussed and agreed upon replacing the brochure with the ACFAC flyer and business card. It was also agreed upon by the council to request that the clinic remove the brochure from any other areas it is being used, as it is outdated.
  5. Lauren provided an update regarding the Peer2Peer mentoring program.  The launch date is slated for September 1st , 2012 and it will commence with the training of the mentors.  By this date, the goal is to have the specifics known such as WebEx capabilities, time commitment, mentor responsibilities and these will be discussed with the prospective mentors in the training sessions.  Also discussed is that while Meg will be the person matching mentors/mentees, that the supervising social worker for the program will not be affiliated with the CF center.
  6. Elyse has been in contact with Cathy H. to continue to provide updates regarding the ACFAC via the CF Center at Stanford's Facebook page.  The goal will be to start using Facebook to increase awareness of the council and it's programs, such as the Perr2Peer Program, meetings, accomplishments, etc. 
  7. Kriss was able to discuss with CFRI the possibility of either having a table, or using the CFRI table to increase awareness of the ACFAC.  It was voted on by the council to use the CFRI table instead of our own table.  The council will provide flyers and business cards for "take-aways."  ACFAC members attending the council will also have "Ask Me" buttons
  8. It was discussed for future events, to hold a small drawing or raffle, or ask participants of these events to provide the council with contact information, such as email or phone number to improve outreach and awareness of the ACFAC in the CF community, especially those that are patients or family members of patients at Stanford.
  9. Discussion also held regarding ideas for further goals and projects for the council.  Ideas included: Sponsoring events (forums, talks) or items at clinic (such as the cups for coffee / water, pen/pad of paper to ask questions) to increase the awareness of the ACFAC.  The council discussed the list that had been compiled when the council was formed and determined that many of the "goals" had been accomplished.  Discussion of council goals and projects to continue at the September meeting.
  10. Discussion held regarding the opening for the vice-chairperson position.  Current members to think about the position and discussion regarding election to be held at September meeting.  Kriss agreed to continue as a voting member and Vice Chairperson until September 1st.    After that, Kriss offered and council agreed that she will stay on as an advisor/graphic designer.
  11. It was voted on and approved to have an "offline" or internet vote should new member applications be received as the August meeting will be for the orientation.
  12. Jay was unable to attend the last pediatric council meeting.
  13. Next meeting set for Wednesday, August 15th 2012.  Since it will be the orientation, those who have attended the orientation or are excused from it are excused from the meeting.

  4. Discussion held regarding the ACFAC direction and goals, with focus this month on outreach to the Stanford Adult CF community.  Ideas included: focusing more on "word of mouth", instead of mailers or written communication; use of social networking, specifically, Facebook; including information in the Stanford CF newsletter; using business cards; holding an event to raise awareness; inquiring about having a table at CF-related events in the area, CFRI, for example; and drawing people in by increasing awareness about current council projects. The council decided to begin with using Facebook, Elyse will work with Cathy H. to routinely use the Stanford CF Center Facebook page to provide information about the council.  Information to be provided includes announcing the meeting date / time, and a description of the council to increase awareness.  Members encouraged to brainstorm for next month about goals and projects for the council.

  1. January meeting minutes approved, February meeting minutes approved.  Answers were given for Laura's Ed day Quiz.
  2.  Presentation from Joan Forte, Director of Patient Care Services, entitled " Partnering with Patients, Patient and Family Centered Care Programs at Stanford."  Please click on link for presentation. https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=gmail&attid=0.1&thid=136d50524bf67890&mt=application/vnd.ms-powerpoint&url=https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui%3D2%26ik%3D9ab638220c%26view%3Datt%26th%3D136d50524bf67890%26attid%3D0.1%26disp%3Dsafe%26zw&sig=AHIEtbQZzheWPLxQ3TMciObVOmEY72TOpA&pli=1  Also discussed was the planned roll-out for the CF Mentor / Peer-to-Peer program.  It will begin with a pilot program with 4 volunteer mentors initially.  The pilot will be 6 months.  Further details, such as method of contact, frequency of contact, and a training program for becoming a mentor are still being discussed.  Those council members interested in being a mentor should contact Lauren.
  3. The new "We want to hear your voice" flyer has been posted on the ACFAC website.  Laura reported that per Ed, the process on the inpatient side has been fixed, the floor managers are now aware of where the flyers are to be stored.  In addition, the updated bylaws are now posted on the ACFAC website as well.
  4. Discussion occurred regarding members providing input and feedback, especially when clinic staff give presentations. 
  5. Laura provided several updates and reminders.

a.     Laura attended most recent CORE PAC meeting (Stanford's Advisory Council for patient advisory councils).  Notes included a discussion of the pros / cons of WebEx use, the recent accreditation of Stanford as a MAGNET hospital for nurses, and the implementation of multidisciplinary team rounds.  The council discussed that this appears to be already happening with the CF team, but Laura reports this is one of the hospital-wide goals.

b.     For the "Get to Know the Team" questionnaires, most team members have filled out the responses which are now posted on the Stanford CF Center website under the "Adult" tab (not the Advisory Council Adult tab.)

c.      Laura provided reminder that there are 2 separate tabs on the CF Center Website; the Adult tab and the Advisory Council tab with the drop-down for the Adult Council.  Please be sure to be clear when referring to each in documents and discussions.

Next meeting set for Wednesday, May 16th from 5-7 pm.
