title: The patient-family learning centre.
abstract: As hospital length-of-stay decreases and ambulatory care options increase, patients and their families are expected to handle more and more of patients' care needs. In Halifax, patients of the Queen Elizabeth II (QEII) Health Sciences Centre have a resource to help them learn how to meet those needs: the Patient-Family Learning Centre (PFLC).
