There has been much written about the importance of care that is centered on persons and their loved ones. Patient-centered care has been central to nursing practice and unique nursing knowledge. This central focus provides an opportunity for nurses to develop policies that may affect practice so that practice is consistent with a distinctive knowledge base. The purpose of this paper is to discuss patient-centered care and nursing theory.

Abstract Health literacy and palliative care have been receiving more attention within health care organizations and systems in recent years. Both can offer a pathway to care that is better for patients and has the potential to be of high value. A health literate approach to palliative care provides patient-centered care that is better aligned with patient preferences and needs.

Appropriateness of care is typically determined in the United States by evidence on efficacy and safety, combined with the judgments of experts in research and clinical practice, but without consideration of the cost of care or patient preferences. The shift in focus towards patient-centered care calls for consideration of outcomes that are important to patients, accommodation of patient preferences, and incorporation of the costs of care in patient-provider shared clinical decisions. The RAND/UCLA Appropriateness method was designed to determine rates of appropriate or inappropriate care, but the method did not include patient preferences or costs. This essay examines how methods of studying appropriateness can be made more patient-centered by describing a modification of the RAND/UCLA method by including patient outcomes, preferences, and costs.

In their discussion paper, Miles and Mezzich argue that evidence-based medicine (EBM) and patient-centered care have developed in parallel, but rarely have entered into exchange and dialogue. These authors emphasize the need for a rational form of integration to take part between EBM and patient-centered care. We agree wholeheartedly with the desirability of both dialogue and integration. The dialogue will be much less likely to be productive, however, when authors ignore or altogether misconstrue the evolution of evidence-based medicine and the recent work of EBM leaders. Statements claiming “a foundational irreconcilability between the fundamental principles of EBM and those of patient-centered care” are not likely to promote enthusiastic dialogue with the EBM community. In this commentary, we demonstrate that EBM has introduced and aggressively advocated for the integration of patient’s values and preferences in the process of clinical decision-making. Furthermore, EBM has highlighted the need for research into optimal ways of integrating patient values and preferences and, most recently, introduced and studied innovative ways of facilitating shared decision-making.
