Anthony M. DiGioia III, MD is a practicing orthopaedic surgeon and an engineer by
- training. He developed the Patient and Family Centered Care Methodology and
Practice (PFCC M/P), which is based on the “third” science for health care called the Design Sciences and builds upon traditional clinical research and process improvement efforts. PFCC M/P requires Care Givers to view all care through the eyes
- f patients and their families and transforms the delivery of care because care is
designed for the end user. PFCC M/P is an experienced based tool that co-designs services, interactions, processes and environments by partnering with patients and families as well as health care providers. This approach improves care delivery through a full cycle of care without the need for additional resources and most importantly, develops the culture to achieve outstanding outcomes, safety, quality and waste reduction. The PFCC M/P has been adopted in over sixty different care experiences at UPMC in Pittsburgh with great success and is now being adopted
- nationally. Dr. DiGioia collaborates with care givers and health care leaders to export
the PFCC Methodology and Practice for any care experience and any organization and is helping to develop a national PFCC Community of Practice. He is board certified in
- rthopaedic surgery and a Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons
and the American College of Surgeons and a Faculty Member for the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI). He has received numerous professional awards including the Pittsburgh History Makers Award in the area of medicine and health.
