Abstract
Person-centred care can be defined as “the art of embracing the patient as an equal partner in the design and co-production of care”.1
Person-centredness is valuable in its own right, but partnering with patients is also expected to improve patient safety. Person-centredness will only be sustainable and lasting if it is a system feature. Change requires explicit system attention to person-centred care.1
Standard based external evaluation can be used to assess the implementation of person-centred care. This best practice briefing discusses how external evaluation in addition can be used as a vehicle to spread good practice of person-centred care on the system level.
