Elizabeth C. Rubinstein
Elizabeth Rubinstein is a Henry Ford Transplant Living Community (TLC) volunteer and patient ambassador who in 2008 conceptualized and developed TLC to provide a vehicle for patient communication to interface with the transplant medical care team. TLC addresses continuity of care from hospital to home by incorporating the family, the patient, and transplant staff as a cohesive team from a non-medical perspective via mentorship interactions and lifestyle education. Lifestyle education is based upon Play Your “ACES”: Attitude Compliance Exercise and Support principles presented by trained patient volunteers. The community is recipient driven within a patient centered care platform in partnership with the Henry Ford Transplant Institute and Volunteer Services. The Transplant Living Community exists as an onsite volunteer ambassador program to support pre and post organ and bone marrow transplant patients, families, and support partners throughout the transplant experience. The uniqueness of the TLC program and “ACES” platform is that it is adaptable to other areas of healthcare involving patient care management beyond the medical environs. As a patient advisor, Elizabeth has served on the HFHS Patient Education Vendor Search Team, HFHS Conversation Ready Project, the System Quality Forum, HFHS Patient-Centered Care Team, Safety Champion Forum, MyChart Bedside Steering Committee, and Family Caregiver Education Council. She currently serves with the System CAUTI/CLASBI Committee, the Transplant Institute PFAC, HF All of USSM TACH PMI: Precision Medicine Initiative, the HFHS Board of Trustees Quality Committee, HF PERC: Patient-Engaged Research Center, and the MHA Person & Family Engagement Council. She has presented at the 2014 26th Annual National Forum on Quality Improvement in Health Care, 2014 5th Annual International Patient Safety Symposium: The Patient Voice: Are We Listening?, 2011 2nd Annual International Safety Symposium: Partnerships in Safety, and at the 2010 and 2012 6th and 7th Annual National Learning Congress sponsored by U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, in addition to other patient education venues.
