Abstract
Patient and family engagement is increasingly promoted as a central element in ensuring high-quality care in health care systems. Across the Emergency Medical Services for Children (EMSC) continuum, families experience care within individual settings and in care transitions across settings. In 1999, the federal EMSC program in partnership with the EMSC National Resource Center established the Family Advisory Network (FAN) to integrate the family perspective in all EMSC activities and initiatives. With the recent conversion of EMSC's coordination center to one embedded in improvement science, the role of FAN warrants renewed focus to ensure its success as a strategic partner. An environmental scan and a strategic plan based on representation, transparency, impact, and commitment will position FAN as a vital component in the future success of EMSC.
