Feedback:
Patient-centered care considers cultural traditions, personal preferences, values, n n n n n n n




families, and lifestyles. Clients become active participants in their own care, and
n n n n n n n n n n n n




monitoring health becomes the client's responsibility. To help clients and their
n n n n n n n n n n n




healthcare providers make better decisions, the Agency for Healthcare Research and
n n n n n n n n n n n




Quality (AHRQ) has developed a series of tools that empower clients and assist providers
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




in achieving desired outcomes, including client-reported functional status indicators.

Computer-assistedroboticsurgicaltechniques, electronic healthrecords, and
n n n n n n n n




continuous glucose monitoring in the hospital are all technological advances in
n n n n n n n n n n n




healthcare, but they do not help the client become a more active participant in his or her
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




care, and thus are not goodexamples of patient-centered care.

The social conditions in which people live, their income, social status, education, literacy,
n n n n n n n n n n n n




n home and workenvironment, support networks, gender, culture, and availability of
n n n n n n n n n n




health services are the social determinants of health. These conditions have an impact on
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




the extent to which a person or community possesses the physical, social, and personal
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




resources necessaryto attainand maintain health. A medicalerroron the part of the
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




client's primary care provider or nurse would not constitute a social determinant ofthe
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




client's health.
