Synopsis

The last two decades have seen a marked shift in health care towards what has broadly become known as "patient-centredness". Yet, the movement to patient-centred care has not been well-documented in academic literature. Even its definition has been left implicit, thus allowing the concept to mean different things to different professional and patient groups. This book provides a comprehensive review of the theory and practice of patient-centred health care, and underlines the importance of mutual understanding among health care professionals as the basis of such care in its strong inter-disciplinary orientation. As well as providing a description of patient-centred care, practical illustrations are provided to illustrate the ways in which different disciplines can contribute to the effective development and implementation of patient-centred care.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Although the past 20 years have marked a major shift in health care toward what is broadly referred to as ′patient–centredness,′ this movement has not been well documented in academic literature, let alone has its meaning been explicitly defined. The concept has meant different things to different professional and patient groups. As a result, a book such as this was needed to provide a comprehensive review of the theory and practice of patient–centred health care and its interdisciplinary orientation. Besides providing a clear definition of what patient–centred care means, this text offers practical illustrations of how different disciplines can contribute to the effective development and implementation of patient–centred care.

Revue de presse

"This is an important and exciting text, multi–disciplinary, well referenced, up to date and almost entirely readable."

"Clearly this text is an embarras de richesses, an abundance of good things, and note, it would make an ideal present to yourself, regardless of the season."

Gordon Lennox, Family Practice, 1996.

"All of the chapters are well written and the style of presentation makes it easy to read. In addition, each chapter is usefully followed by the increasingly popular device of including a critique."

"This is useful text, full of valuable information on patient–centred health care."

Francis Biley, Nursing Times, 1996.
