Feedback:
Patient-centered care considers cultural traditions, personal preferences, values, families,
x x x x x x x x
x and lifestyles. Clients become active participants in their own care, and monitoring health
x x x x x x x x x x x x
x becomes the client's responsibility. To help clients and their healthcare providers make
x x x x x x x x x x x
x better decisions, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has developed a
x x x x x x x x x x x x
x series of tools that empower clients and assist providers in achieving desired outcomes,
x x x x x x x x x x x x
x including client-reported functional status indicators. Computer-assisted robotic surgical
x x x x x x x
techniques, electronic health records, andcontinuous glucose monitoring in the hospital are
x x x x x x x x x x x x
x all technological advances in healthcare, but they do not help the client become a more
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
x active participant in his or hercare, and thus are not good examples of patient-centered care.

x Feedback:
The social conditions in which people live, their income, social status, education, literacy,
x x x x x x x x x x x x
x home and work environment, support networks, gender, culture, and availability of health
x x x x x x x x x x x
x services are the social determinants of health. These conditions have an impact on the
x x x x x x x x x x x x x
x extent to which a person or community possesses the physical, social, and personal
x x x x x x x x x x x x
resources necessary to attain and maintain health. A medical erroron the part of the client's
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
x primary care provider or nurse would not constitute a social determinant of the client's
x x x x x x x x x x x x x
x health.
