How do you measure patient centredness?

Helping measure person-centred care
Health Foundation, March 2014
  • Person-centred, individualised, personalised, patient-centred, family-centred, patient-centric and many other terms have been used to signal a change in how health services engage with people. This rapid review summarises research about measuring the extent to which care is person-centred. 
  • Three key questions guided the review:
    • How is person-centred care being measured in healthcare? 
    • What types of measures are used? 
    • Why and by whom is measurement taking place?
  • A spreadsheet listing 160 of the most commonly researched measurement tools accompanies the review.
