“…As lead author on a Cochrane review about it (updated in 2012 and imminently to be updated again) [1,2], I can say this. Our team decided that we needed to see if this thing that was so widely applied in health services in many countries really was worth the amount of effort that was invested in telling everyone that it was being used.…”

Family-centred care is a ubiquitous term in paediatric health facilities. It means that an admitted child can never be treated as a single individual patient, that the family is the unit of care, as the parents and family are central to the child’s wellbeing, especially during traumatic experiences. There is no rigorous evidence that family-centred care works, but qualitative research is drawing out some grave concerns with how it is implemented. Part of the problem is that there are many descriptions of family-centred care, but few definitions, and some of its component parts may be in place in some health services without the whole model being in place. This causes confusion amongst health professionals and parents and children, and makes it impossible to test in a randomised controlled trial. This paper discusses these problems and suggests that a new model, child-centred care, may be a better model of care for children.

“…Although most people believe hospitals are oriented to meet the patient's needs, there are considerable opportunities to make them more patient-focused and not focused on the doctor, the nurse or the other healthcare providers. A patientcentered healthcare system will need to involve improvements in the measures of hospital and physician performance, teaching communication skills to patients and providers, the development of patient-centered care practice guidelines and payment options [28,[128][129][130]. These efforts must take place at four levels: organizational, patient, provider, and community.…”

Abstract:Background: Patient-centered care that encompasses informed decision making can improve treatment choice, quality of care and outcomes. Patient-centered care recognizes the need for major changes in the process of care that arranges health care system around the patient.Objective: Study objective was to evaluate and discuss the interplay of components of patient-centered care by developing a conceptual model of patient-centered care.Methods: Comprehensive literature review was conducted using Medline, CINAHL, and Cochrane databases. Included were English language studies addressing issues related to patient-centered-care and patient reported outcomes.Results: Though the concept of patient-centered care emerged in the early 50s, it exploded in the health care research policy arena exponentially in the late nineties. The conceptual model described here can aid objective and subjective evaluation of patient-centered care. As we strive to improve the quality of care, patient-centered care can play a pivotal role in this process. This however requires changes in our healthcare system so as to improve overall quality of care by minimizing wasteful health resource consumption. Conclusions:With healthcare costs projected to continue their rapid increase, the current paradigm of healthcare is unsustainable. More research is needed to explore the various attributes of patient-centered care, its acceptability, and comparative effectiveness in the healthcare arena.

“…Algunos autores hacen referencia a la importancia de la participación activa de los padres o tutores en la toma de decisiones (14), hecho contrario a lo referido como posible solución en la presente encuesta. Buscando el mejor interés del niño, a diferencia del adulto, es conveniente, en ocasiones, dejar la autonomía en segunda consideración y apoyarse en un paternalismo "benigno" que colabore en la decisión final (15,16).…”
