Description

Sponsored by the Picker/Commonwealth Program for Patient-Centered Care

In this comprehensive, research-based look at the experiences and needs of patients, the authors explore models of care that can make hospitalisation more humane. Through the Patient's Eyes provides insights into why some hospitals are more patient-centred than others; how physicians can become more involved in patient-centred quality efforts; and how patient-centred quality can be integrated into health care policy, standards, and regulations.

The authors show how, by bringing the patient’s perspective to the design and delivery of health services, providers can improve their ability to meet patients' needs and enhance the quality of care.
