feedback:
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.

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