Source Intake
Peer-reviewed articles, public reports, policy guidance, toolkits, and public datasets relevant to PFACs, patient experience, safety, equity, governance, or implementation.
Notion workspace • reviewed contribution process
Contribute evidence or implementation ideas without weakening source discipline.
The shared workspace is for public sources, de-identified improvement observations, benchmark notes, and practical toolkit ideas. Every contribution is reviewed before it is incorporated into the public APE materials.
What to submit
Four workstreams keep contributions organized.
Benchmark Notes
Publicly supportable examples of patient and family engagement practices at Dartmouth Health or comparable organizations.
Evidence Review
Comments on evidence type, strength, limitation, applicability, conflicting findings, or implications for leadership action.
Toolkit Backlog
Practical ideas for improving assessment, representation, action tracking, measurement, report-back, and Domain 5 traceability.
Review standard
What happens after submission.
Each item is checked for relevance, evidence type, source quality, duplication, claim strength, privacy, and whether it changes a practical leadership decision. Accepted sources remain distinguishable from implementation guidance, local hypotheses, and lived-experience material.
Is the source public and verifiable?
What does it support, and what does it not support?
Does it change a PFAC, patient-safety, experience, equity, or leadership decision?
Do not submit
No PHI, confidential records, restricted screenshots, or unsupported claims.
Use public sources and de-identified improvement observations only. Patient stories are treated as lived experience unless a separate evidence source supports the empirical claim.
