Background : Capturing patients’ experiences of care and using the results to improve service quality is one of the key approaches to building person-centered care in healthcare organizations. Studies have suggested that systematic gathering of patients’ feedback through surveys may lead to improvements in care experiences across health systems and within organizations. While trends in patient experience have been considered at the national level, there is little evidence of systematic analyses of long-term trends at the local or organizational level. Objective : The purpose of this study was to determine whether an upward trend in patients’ reported positive experiences could be established in organizations that have a long history of surveying their patients. Methods : The study was a 12-year (2004-2015) trend analysis of overall experience scores reported by patients in three English hospital trusts: Oxford University Hospitals, University College London Hospitals and Central Manchester University Hospitals. Results : The analysis could not establish an upward trend in patients’ overall reported experiences of care over the 12 years. Whereas scores for both Oxford University and University College London Hospital Trusts were non-linear and more erratic, scores for Central Manchester University Hospitals Trust showed a downward trend, with no statistically significant year-on-year changes in scores. Discussion : The observation is consistent with the suggestion that healthcare organizations may not be fully using patient experience data to inform quality improvement. The present study also contrasts national level longitudinal studies, which have shown small improvements in patient reported experiences of care. Conclusion : More policy-level actions and effective organizational leadership are required for the goal of promoting person-centered care through care experiences to be fully realized.

Engagement and empowerment are important concepts in Person Centered Medicine (PCM). Engagement refers to the act or state of personal interaction that is often crucial as part of thinking and implementing a medicine and health that are person-centered. Empowerment refers to the enablement of a person to fulfill his or her rights and responsibilities. These concepts are usually inter-related as empowerment tends to be carried out as part of an engagement process. While both concepts are relevant to human activities and human relations in general, they certainly have a major significance in the health field. Their place in PCM is related to both its principles and strategies. As such they have often being part of the institutional journey of PCM [1], now ten years old. Their conceptual place and implications in PCM are reviewed briefly next.

Background : Disasters affect people intensely, with people always at the center as victims or as protagonists of the event. The poorest groups suffer the greatest damages, and if the disasters recur, such groups may get trapped into persistent poverty. Objectives : This work sought to elucidate patterns of Latin American experiences on disasters and responses to them focusing on human elements along the lines of person centered medicine and health (PCM). An effort was made to explore the effects and long-term impact of disasters on health, economy and social life. Method : The relevant literature was reviewed, especially data from the Pan American Health Organization, the Regional Centre for Emergency and Disaster Documentation, the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean, and the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters. Reciprocal relationships between disasters and urban and social vulnerability were examined. Results : It was noted that people have been always surrounded by natural and man-made threats and that emergencies involving massive destruction have affected populations in relation to multiple causes and sometimes leading to grave social deterioration and precariousness. Indicators of person centered medicine appeared to be present in much of the reviewed Latin American disasters literature. Discussion : Disasters have social and cultural backgrounds and contexts and represent high economic and social burdens for low-resource countries. Disasters and their impact tend to correlate with social disorganization and deficient status of prevailing health policies. Feelings of helplessness undermine political confidence and threaten governance and development. The Latin American region is beginning to express high interest on PCM and on its implementation, in relation to renewed concern for ethics and human values. The promising value of person-centered educational exercises to enhance disaster preparedness was illustrated.

A chaperone is encouraged to be present in any medical consultation especially when an intimate examination is required. This impartial attendant could be reassuring to the patient especially when gender is an issue and avoids any perceived conflict that may arise in the patient-physician relationship. Situations in which a chaperone is not available or declined by the patient present unique ethical problems and need to be avoided. When a chaperone is declined doctors are in a dilemma in proceeding with an intimate examination. This critical discussion explores the noble relationship between doctor and patient and how circumstances may change when both parties independently or otherwise deviate from established guidelines in affording treatment to the patient.

Background Little is known about how to support practitioners to enhance their interpersonal conversations to be more compassionate, person centred and relational with others. The Caring Conversations (CC) framework was empirically derived to address this issue and comprises seven attributes (be courageous, connect emotionally, be curious, consider other perspectives, collaborate, compromise and celebrate). Objective This paper synthesises the qualitative findings from a multi-phase programme of research, which implemented the CC framework across a variety of health and social care settings (acute hospitals, community, and residential care). It explores the perceived impact of the CC framework on staff and their practice. Methods Secondary analysis was conducted on the qualitative findings in the final reports of 5 studies, involved in the implementation of the CC framework. Results The analysis showed consistent positive outcomes for staff in their interactions with patients, families and others; including greater self-awareness during interactions, development of stronger relationships, and more open dialogue that supports relational practice. The secondary analysis confirmed the applicability of the framework across a number of different settings, strengthened confidence in its value, generated fresh insights to inform further research, and developed a deeper insight into the attributes of the framework and its application. Conclusions Policy and research advocate compassionate care and relational practice, but do not state how this can be delivered in practice. By synthesising the findings from 5 studies undertaken in a variety of different settings, we can be more confident in the value of the CC framework to ensure best practice.

Starting from the idea that “medical problems” are always “problems of living” that reflect the existence of a “vital dimension” that is different from the biological, psychological and sociocultural dimensions, this article describes central features of this dimension. From this viewpoint, its inescapable importance in the clinical act is highlighted, an importance that shapes the tasks that are inherent to it – diagnosis and decision making – but also the very process of the doctor-patient relationship. It is argued that “the subjective truth” implicit in the “vital dimension” (in the “existential self”) can only be approached through reflection and interpretation in the context of a dialogue between the professional and the patient/family with the objective of deciding on the action(s) that can better lead to reaching some concrete wishes or desires (values), that in turn require the participants to take on obligations and responsibilities. This relational perspective defines the “person centered ” clinical approach as a practice based on dialogue , importantly involving deliberation and collaboration (“ collaborative deliberation ” ). In this dialogue, the emotions, integral elements of the life dimension of its protagonists, play a decisive role both in attaining clinical effectiveness and in building and maintaining the relational process (encouraging or reducing trust) that is indispensable in a clinical activity that is an eminently moral act. Finally, the main challenges that doctors face when implementing this clinical focus and the educational challenges it entails are outlined.

Patient–centered care (PCC) is increasingly recognized as a key dimension of quality healthcare, but unfortunately remains poorly implemented in practice. This paper explores the current state of PCC in sub-Saharan Africa and potential barriers to its implementation, with a focus on public first line health services. We develop an analytical framework based on expert knowledge, field experience, and a conceptual literature review. Factors contributing to the (lack of) implementation of PCC are structured in three distinct but interacting layers. The first layer encompasses factors that influence and shape the performance of providers. The training of health workers is key in that respect. Training models remain dominated by a biomedical perspective, with little attention for psychosocial dimensions of the illness experience. The second layer of determinants relates to the structural and organizational features of the health system. The emphasis in many African health care systems on specific programmatic outputs, and the subsequent pressure this creates on health workers, jeopardize the delivery of PCC. The third layer is related to the broader socioeconomic environment in which health workers operate. Noteworthy is the gap between the “official” norms in the public sector and the actual behavior of providers. We then propose possible avenues for change for each of these three layers. We conclude by arguing the need for further fine-tuning of the framework outlined in this paper, investing in the contextual validation of measurement tools for PCC, and testing solutions in a participatory action research framework.
