The Patient Advocate Certification Board is an organization with the mission to:
‘manage and maintain a universally recognized certification for patient/health advocates; establish and maintain relevant knowledge domains, skills, ethical standards and best practices for advocates; collaborate with healthcare consumers to achieve patient and family centered care; establish professional development for certified advocates; and promote and professionalize patient advocacy.’
We are currently conducting a job task analysis study to obtain descriptive information about the tasks performed by patient advocates and the knowledge needed to competently perform those tasks.
