Feedback:
Patient-
centered care considers cultural traditions, personal preferences, values, families,
w w w w w w w w
and lifestyl es. Clients become active participants in their own care, and monitoring
w w w w w w w w w w w w w
health becomesJthe c lient'sJresponsibility. To help clients and their healthcare
w w w w w w w w w w
providers make better decisions, th e Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality
w w w w w w w w w w w w
(AHRQ) has developed a series of tools that e mpower clients and assistJproviders in
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w
achieving desired outcomes, includingJclient- reported functional status
w w w w w w w
indicators. Computer-
w w
assistedJrobotic surgical techniques, electronicJhealth records,
w w w w
andcontinuousJglucose monit oring in the hospital are all technological advances in
w w w w w w w w w w w
healthcare, but they do not helpJthe clie ntJbecome a more active participantJin his or
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w
hercare, and thus are not goodexamples of patie nt-centered care.
