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

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