FCC cannot deliver on its promises unless greater understanding and support for FCC are achieved by health care providers. Fundamental misunderstandings persist about what FCC is, how to implement FCC, and how to determine the family-centeredness of care. As a philosophy of care, FCC, and the related term patient-centered care (PCC), have been recognized by multiple medical societies, health care systems, state and federal legislative bodies, the Institute of Medicine, and Healthy People 2020 as integral to patient health, satisfaction, and health care quality. The result is an exquisite illustrated book, where the 104 objects and their accompanying sestudes appear side-by-side.Family-centered care (FCC) has been described as a partnership approach to health care decision-making. There are more than a hundred writers involved in this collection, including many of the best-known literary authors in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. It seems that all writers and readers treasure connections with the past through objects – personal ones and those displayed in museums. In 2011 they took the idea to the National Library of Wales, the Ulster Museum and the National Museum of Scotland, where writers were let loose on objects as disparate as a mediaeval illuminated book, a beggar's badge and a 16th century Scottish guillotine.
Andrew Motion wrote about a bust of Homer, a 17th century Chinese porcelain figure reminded a writer of a pub landlord in Inverness, while the wedding suit of James 11 inspired 62 words about 'a suit as full of scratches as a rose-garden'. The results were beautiful, surprising, lyrical, sometimes comical. Each person wrote exactly 62 words – 26 in reflection – in response to the object. In 2010, London's Victoria & Albert museum chose 26 objects from its British Galleries and randomly assigned them to 26 writers. Through its 26 Treasures project, writers' collective 26 is exploring how to create emotional connections between objects and individuals.
Yet despite their rarity, we often fail to engage with these extraordinary objects. You might spot a gargantuan four-poster bed that was a 16th century pub tourist attraction or a threadbare sackcloth robe worn in church by a 17th century adulteress.
