Abstract
Person-centred care is considered the better approach to modern healthcare delivery compared to the traditional clinician-centred or expertise-centred approach. In recent decades, the approach of effective person-centred care has shifted towards allowing the patient an opportunity to have independent and inquisitive input into their own healthcare management.
Despite the high priority given to person-centred care approaches in various countries, for several decades now there remains a lack of implementable practical protocols to assess its effectiveness. Such lack of standardised supporting systems available to allow informed decision-making about a patient’s own healthcare management plan further limits this approach. As a consequence, person-centred care is yet to gain cross-cultural ubiquity.
In this brief case study, the ISQUA team present a best practice approach to support the implementation of person-centred care.
