By Santana, Maria J.; Manalili, Kimberly; Jolley, Rachel J.; Zelinsky, Sandra; Quan, Hude; Lu, Mingshan.
Health Expectations. Apr 2018, Vol. 21 Issue 2, p429-440. 12p
Abstract: Globally, health‐care systems and organizations are looking to improve health system performance through the implementation of a person‐centred care (PCC) model. While numerous conceptual frameworks for PCC exist, a gap remains in practical guidance on PCC implementation. Methods: Based on a narrative review of the PCC literature, a generic conceptual framework was developed in collaboration with a patient partner, which synthesizes evidence, recommendations and best practice from existing frameworks and implementation case studies.

Health Expectations. Apr2018, Vol. 21 Issue 2, p448-456. 9p
Abstract: Person Centred Coordinated Care (P3C) is a UK priority for patients, carers, professionals, commissioners and policy makers. Services are developing a range of approaches to deliver this care with a lack of tools to guide implementation. Methodology: A scoping review and critical examination of current policy, key literature and NHS guidelines, together with stakeholder involvement led to the identification of domains, subdomains and component activities (processes and behaviours) required to deliver P3C.
7. Patient value: Perspectives from the advocacy community.
By Addario, Bonnie J; Fadich, Ana; Fox, Jesme; Krebs, Linda; Maskens, Deborah; Oliver, Kathy; Schwartz, Erin; Spurrier-Bernard, Gilliosa; Turnham, Timothy.
Health Expectations. Feb 2018, Vol. 21 Issue 1, p57-63. 7p
Abstract: All health-care systems are under financial pressure and many have therefore developed value frameworks to assist decision making regarding access to treatment. Unfortunately, many frameworks simply reflect the clinically focused values held by health-care professionals rather than outcomes that also matter to patients. It is difficult to define one single homogeneous set of patient values as these are shaped by social, religious and cultural factors, and health-care environment, as well as many factors such as age, gender, education, family and friends and personal finances
8. Patient-centred care is a way of doing things: How healthcare employees conceptualize patient-centred care.
By Fix, Gemmae M.; VanDeusen Lukas, Carol; Bolton, Rendelle E.; Hill, Jennifer N.; Mueller, Nora; LaVela, Sherri L.; Bokhour, Barbara G.

Abstract: Patient-centred care is now ubiquitous in health services research, and healthcare systems are moving ahead with patient-centred care implementation.

10. Can we model trust and humility to help students make meaning of patient-centred care and interprofessional learning?
By Oswald, Anna.
Medical Education. May 2016, Vol. 50 Issue 5, p506-508. 3p

This mixed-methods study aimed to measure the extent to which parents and the healthcare provider (HCP) perceive service provision as being family centred, and to describe barriers and facilitators to the delivery of FCS.

20. Smartphones not linked to plane crashes, petrol bowser explosions or brain cancer
ABC Science - Updated 24 October 2017 at 4:33 pm
Do smartphones cause brain cancer? Do they really mess with a plane's navigation gear? And petrol pumps? Really?? When it comes to the risks of mobile phone use, one thing is certain: the warnings about cancer, plane crashes and petrol pumps have been with us from the start. But what about the evidence? It turns out those risks have as much basis in myth and misunderstanding as they do in actual fact. Even so, there is a reason you should switch to flight mode when you fly.
