Clin Chest Med. 2021 Jun;42(2):337-346. doi: 10.1016/j.ccm.2021.03.003.

Abstract

There have been growing interest in and emphasis on health systems adopting a patient-centered care (PCC) approach, which focuses on providing care that is respectful and responsive to patient preferences, needs, and values. The features of PCC can fall into 3 domains: structure, process, and outcomes. These domains encompass the necessary infrastructure and culture required to facilitate respectful and compassionate care and patient engagement. This review discusses the features that characterize each of these PCC domains and how they can be applied specifically to clinical care and research within the field of interstitial lung disease.

Keywords: Interstitial lung disease; Patient-centered care; Patient-reported outcome measures.
