<h1>Chapter 5. Patient Centeredness</h1>
|
|
<h2>National Healthcare Quality Report, 2008</h2> <div id="basic-modal"><!-- start: Basic Modal -->
|
|
<p> Patient centeredness is defined as:</p><blockquote>[H]ealth care that establishes a partnership among practitioners, patients, and their families (when appropriate) to ensure that decisions respect patients' wants, needs, and preferences and that patients have the education and support they need to make decisions and participate in their own care. <sup><a href="#Ch5-Edn1">1</a></sup></blockquote><p>An important dimension of quality, patient centeredness "encompasses qualities of compassion, empathy, and responsiveness to the needs, values, and expressed preferences of the individual patient."<sup><a href="#Ch5-Edn2">2</a></sup></p><h3>Importance</h3><h4>Morbidity and Mortality</h4><ul type="disc"><li>Patient-centered approaches to care have been shown to improve patients' health status. These approaches rely on building a provider-patient relationship, improving communication, fostering a positive atmosphere, and encouraging patients to actively participate in patient-provider interactions.<sup><a href="#Ch5-Edn3">3</a>,<a href="#Ch5-Edn4">4</a></sup></li><li>A patient-centered approach has been shown to lessen patients' symptom burden.<sup><a href="#Ch5-Edn5">5</a></sup></li><li>Patient-centered care encourages patients to comply with treatment regimens.<sup><a href="#Ch5-Edn6">6</a></sup></li>
|
|
<li>Patient-centered care can reduce the chance of misdiagnosis due to poor communication.<sup><a href="#Ch5-Edn7">7</a></sup></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<h4>Cost</h4><ul type="disc"><li>Patient centeredness has been shown to reduce underuse and overuse of medical services.<sup><a href="#Ch5-Edn8">8</a></sup></li><li>Patient centeredness can reduce the strain on system resources and save money by reducing the number of diagnostic tests and referrals.<sup><a href="#Ch5-Edn5">5</a></sup></li><li>Although some studies have shown that being patient centered reduces costs and use of health service resources, others have shown that patient centeredness increases providers' costs, especially in the short run.<sup><a href="#Ch5-Edn9">9</a></sup></li></ul><h3>Measures</h3><p>The National Healthcare Quality Report tracks four measures of patients' experience of care. The core report measure is a composite of these measures-patients' assessments of how often their provider listened carefully to them, explained things clearly, respected what they had to say, and spent enough time with them.</p><h3>Findings</h3><h4>Patients' Experience of Care—Adults</h4><p>Optimal health care requires good communication between patients and providers, yet barriers to patient-provider communication are common. To provide all patients with the best possible care, providers must be able to understand patients' diverse health care needs and preferences and communicate clearly with patients about their care.</p><p class="Caption"><strong><a id="qr08fig5-1" name="qr08fig5-1">Figure 5.1.</a> Composite measure: Adult ambulatory patients who reported poor communication with health providers,<sup><a href="#note1">*</a></sup> by age group, 2000-2005</strong></p><p class="size2"><span><img src="/research/findings/nhqrdr/nhqr08/images/qr08fig5-01.jpg" alt="Ambulatory patients age 18 and over who reported poor communication with health providers (asterisk), by age group, 2000-2005.

Optimal communication in children's health care can therefore have a significant impact on receipt of high-quality care and subsequent health status.</p><p class="Caption"><strong>Figure 5.3.
