Impacts of patient advisory councils on recovery for sepsis survivors: a case study
Our findings demonstrate that PACs provide critical benefits that extend beyond feeling valued or appreciated for contributing to a specific project. These findings highlight the value of patient-oriented research in shaping evidence-based practices and policies and emphasize the need for trauma-informed approaches and improved post-sepsis care pathways to enhance recovery outcomes.
