Abstract
Hospital efforts to engage patients and families in their care and in hospital improvement activities were abruptly halted when the COVID pandemic hit. Visitation was prohibited or extremely limited, changing the way patients and families were involved in their care. Florida hospitals will share how they pivoted their PFE initiatives and lessons learned in both their acute and rehabilitation settings as a result of COVID-19.

Anne Bidelman
Manager, Patient Advisory & Executive Patient Program
H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute
Anne Bidelman is the Manager of the Patient Advisory and Executive Patient Program at the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute. Her passion is to further weave the key concepts of patient-and family-centered care into the hearts and minds of Moffitt team members, faculty and researchers by creating mutually beneficial partnerships with patients and family members. Anne works closely with those who have faced cancer and who chose to give back to Moffitt as peer visitors and patient and family advisors and provides them with a platform to make a difference at Moffitt, for the next patient. Anne gets to know their talents, their strengths and their purpose and learns where they are in their continuum of their care and recovery, physically and psychosocially. Anne recruits, interviews and trains new advisors and ensures they are comfortable to share their views and opinions openly and confidently in appropriate and safe settings. Anne’s ultimate goal, is through these partnerships, for advisors to find just a small amount of healing, knowing they are using their experiences to make a difference, and for Moffitt to benefit from their first-hand knowledge and expertise.
