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




and lifestyles. Clients become active participants in their own care, and monitoring health
n n n n n n n n n n n n n




becomes the client's responsibility. To help clients and their healthcare providers make
n n n n n n n n n n n n




better decisions, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has developed a
n n n n n n n n n n n n n




series of tools that empower clients and assist providers in achieving desired outcomes,
n n n n n n n n n n n n n




including client-reported functional status indicators. Computer-assisted robotic surgical
n n n n n n n n




techniques, electronic health records, andcontinuous glucose monitoring in the hospital are
n n n n n n n n n n n n




all technological advances in healthcare, but they do not help the client become a more
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




active participant in his or hercare, and thus are not good examples of patient-centered care.

n n n n n n n n n n n n




n home and work environment, support networks, gender, culture, and availability of health

extent to which a person or community possesses the physical, social, and personal
