Patient-centered care frameworks, models and approaches: An environmental scan
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Although the definition of patient-centered care (PCC) remains unclear, researchers and healthcare professionals describe the concept as treating the patient as a unique human being with consideration for their physical and psychosocial needs and emphasize the importance of shared-decision making between patients and healthcare professionals. However, discussion around the connection and overlap between PCC and patient and family engagement (PE) has been limited. Some authors describe PE as an operationalization of PCC, while others consider PE a type of PCC. An enhanced understanding of PCC might allow for improvements in implementing PE across healthcare systems. Insight into the operationalization of PCC at a practical level may be attained through exploring models and programs introduced by various governments. We conducted an environmental scan examining models, approaches, and programs of PCC implemented by the governments of nine developed countries at regional and national levels, aiming to understand better how PCC is operationalized. We found seven major themes indicative of critical features of PE within PCC models: 1) recruitment and representation; 2) training and staff engagement; 3) rapport and relationships; 4) tools and support; 5) compensation and reimbursement; 6) knowledge translation; and 7) evaluation. Finally, we comment on how well the included PCC models promote diversity and cultural competence while highlighting the importance of cultural sensitivity and discussing potential strategies to integrate PCC and PE into healthcare activities.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
