The Change Foundation and OHA will be co-hosting a webinar for those who want to learn more about this research on family presence and open visiting policies, and how Caregiver ID initiatives can play an important role in a family presence culture.

You will also hear from a healthcare provider who led the implementation in a hospital. She will share lessons learned and helpful reflections on how to integrate a Caregiver ID initiative with the introduction of a family presence policy.
