About Picker Institute, Inc., and NRC

Patient-Centered Care – with the Picker Institute at the helm – is becoming a transformational MOVEMENT that will touch the lives millions worldwide.

In much the same way that the environmental movement changed the way we all view our planet --- with your help, the Patient-Centered Care Movement will create a new healthcare paradigm – a new context for “viewing, consuming and delivering” healthcare ---- all done “Through the Patient’s Eyes.”

How your Contribution will be used at the Picker Institute

Over the past 2 decades the Picker Institute has conducted groundbreaking research and established the foundations of the emerging international Patient-Centered Healthcare movement.

The research, the surveys, and the promotion of best practices have all been accomplished in the past through private funding. But we have gone as far as we can alone. To take the Patient-Centered Care Movement to the next level – we need your help.

Your contribution, and any “match” that your employer may provide, goes directly to fund Programs – no administrative overhead will come out of your Employee/Employer matching contribution.

100% of your contribution to the Picker Institute will be used to fund:

o Ongoing Patient-Centered Healthcare Research
o Grants for New & Innovative Research
o Pilot Programs & Demonstration Grants for “Best Practice” Models
o Recognition Awards for “Best Practice” Models and Leadership
o Education Programs for Hospital Staff and Physicians worldwide

The Future of the Patient-Centered Care – THE MOVEMENT

The Picker Institute is at a turning point – it is evolving beyond its groundbreaking roots in patient-centered healthcare research and survey instrument development, to become an organization that directly provides the resources and tools that medical providers need to truly transform their Health Care Delivery System.

The Picker Institute not only provides technical skills, scientific knowledge, and a rigorous academic approach to the patient-centered healthcare field, it also provides much needed Leadership.
