Family Presence Policy Decision-Making Toolkit

This Family Presence Policy Decision-Making Toolkit was developed by a group of nurse leaders, patient, family and elder advocates, and other clinical and non-clinical partners. It presents a decision-making framework that guides organizational leaders in considering a range of factors when adjusting family presence policies, including local conditions, resource availability, impact on equity, and the potential for harm to patients if they are isolated from loved ones during a healthcare encounter.
