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




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




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

gg and Quality (AHRQ) has developed a series of tools that empower clients and

gg literacy, home and work environment, support networks, gender, culture, and
