In patient-centered care, the patient’s values, beliefs, and preferences regarding overall health and well-being are incorporated into the plan of care and implementation of all care-related activities. Most nurses are familiar with the concept of patient-centered care but may not know how to integrate this concept effectively into practice. This article presents an overview of patient-centered care and explains how to integrate it clinically, focusing on specific strategies. To apply patient-centered care to your clinical practice, you need to consider the five essential concepts below.

Introduction: A compassionate and patient-centered care leads to improved clinical outcomes. Promoting empathy and compassion of medical students is a forerunner of their well-being, emotional stability, and a patient-centered care. However, there is slender evidence about best educational interventions that can inculcate empathy and compassion skills. Our objective was to conduct a systematic review of research evaluating the associations between spectrum, effectiveness, frequency of teaching modalities and their outcomes on compassion and empathy to highlight best practices.Methods: We searched the Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and EBSCO Host on 22nd July 2020. We adapted our search strategy from a previously published systematic review on education for compassion and empathy. Selected studies were required to have used unique educational interventions for promoting empathy and compassion of medical students. The research questions were based on Participants (medical students), Intervention (empathy and/or compassion related teaching), Comparison, and Outcome.Results: We analyzed 24 articles from the initial yield of 2,861. Twenty-two were quantitative studies with a mean of 12.8 on MERSQI. Twelve were randomized controlled trials while 5 measured outcomes with single group pre- and post-tests. There was no association found between duration, frequency and complexity of an educational intervention and its effectiveness. Twenty used multimodality curricula, and of those 18 reported statistically significant positive improvement in empathy, while 3 of 4 single modality were effective. Only three studies looked for long-term effects of educational interventions. Fourteen studies evaluated Kirkpatrick's level one (self-reported knowledge), 2 level three (behavior), and 6 level four (patient outcomes). We identified six major educational constructs of teaching empathy and compassion; communication, mindfulness, early clinical exposure, technology-enhanced learning, comics and arts and culture.Discussion: Our review couldn't identify a standard teaching construct in place and highlighted that different teaching tools carry similar impact in promoting compassion and empathy and a sustainable program rather than a single training activity is essential.

Health care is transitioning away from the traditional medical model to a patient-centered approach. Patient-centered care results in better adherence to rehabilitation protocols, especially for chronic health conditions that may include hearing loss. For many ASHA members not familiar with patient-centered care, SIG 7 can be a valuable resource for learning about key concepts and their clinical application

Patient-centered care that reflects consumer-driven health care decision of an individual as opposed to collective or social choice–based health decision has many implications for clinical decision and resource allocation. With possession of required information and faced with appropriate assessment of preferences, older adults make better choices for their own health. However, one must acknowledge that patient-centered approach for older adults should effectively integrate tenets of value-based care to improve overall quality of care and societal well-being. In this perspective, I present the importance and challenges of patient-centered care and patient-centered outcomes research among older adults.

Patient-centered care is widely advocated in rheumatology. This involves collaboration among patients, caregivers, and health professionals and is particularly important in chronic rheumatic conditions because the disease and treatment can impair patients’ health and well-being. Qualitative research can systematically generate insights about people’s experiences, beliefs, and attitudes, which patients may not always express in clinical settings. These insights can address complex and challenging areas in rheumatology, such as treatment adherence and transition to adult healthcare services. Despite this, qualitative research comprises 1% of studies published in top-tier rheumatology journals. A better understanding about the effect and role, methods, and rigor of qualitative research is needed. This overview highlights the recent contributions of qualitative research in rheumatology, summarizes the common approaches and methods used, and outlines the key principles to guide appraisal of qualitative studies.
