PY - 2011 T2 - Rudolph's Pediatrics, 22e AB - The philosophy of patient and family-centered care is founded on the belief that health outcomes are improved by partnering among health care providers, patients, and their families. This belief permeates the health care system and does not represent a specific therapy that is applied as part of a treatment plan. The patient/family-centered care (P/FCC) approach affects nearly every interaction and decision in our health care system. In the literature, there is no uniform definition of patient and family-centered care. Therefore, it is best described by its fundamental principles: respect and dignity, information, participation, collaboration, and flexibility.
