Patient and Advocate Education

PACC - Patient Activation through Community Conversations www.PulsePACC.org
Patient Activation through Community Conversations (PACC) is a program where people share their experiences so others can take away important information that would be of benefit to someone as a caregiver, someone recently receiving a new diagnosis or entering the healthcare system. PACC encourages finding solutions through what has worked for others.

PPS - People for Patient Safety www.PulsePPS.org
The mix of healthcare professionals and patient advocates makes this program supportive, engaging and educational. In 2022, PPS will be for networking and to build resources and support as an advocate and / or caregiver.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Develop programs throughout the country which recognize people supporting each other as they become prepared to someday be patients

Through workshops, on line forums and classroom training Pulse has numerous programs that bring together people who use the healthcare system and the people who work in healthcare now or retired to support each other in making the system work for the best possible outcomes.

Support system of volunteers, a working board of directors and over twenty years of experience.

Since 1996 we have built a long record of accomplishments including our Professionals for Patient Safety (PPS) meetings that have occurred monthly since 2014. Other initiatives include Family Centered Patient Advocacy, an 8-hour class developed and offered since 2006 for the public to learn to be patient advocates for their loved ones, or to prepare for a career in advocacy; Patient Activation through Community Conversation (PACC), facilitated discussion groups about using the healthcare system; and now with TakeCHARGE, we hope to raise awareness from coast to coast including everyone in between, to help each other TakeCHARGE of our own health CARE
