Patient-centered care considers cultural traditions, personal preferences, values, families,
c c c c c c c c
and lifestyles. Clients become active participants in their own care, and monitoring health
c c c c c c c c c c c c c
becomes the client's responsibility. To help clients and their healthcare providers make
c c c c c c c c c c c c
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

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.
