New report: Towards State of the Science in Person-Centred Care

A new report entitled Towards State of the Science in Person-Centred Care has been released. Read and download the report (PDF) here.

The goal of this report is to provide an overview of the current knowledge of person-centred care and to critically illustrate the theoretical and empirical advancement of the field so far. A total of 68 international scholars have contributed, all of whom participated in the first Global Conference on Person-Centred Care (GCPCC) held in Gothenburg, Sweden, in May 2024.

This report presents brief overviews of four theoretical frameworks and five research literature reviews related to person-centred care, followed by commentaries on the state of the science in person-centred care. These come from an international panel who participated in workshops held at the GCPCC which focused on the core theoretical foundations for person-centred care, and modes and strategies for translating person-centred care into practice. Finally, the report concludes with two reflective chapters, one relating person-centred care to precision health, and one on ways forward in the field to a comprehensive understanding of the state of the science in person-centred care.
