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