Background: Faced with increased expectations regarding the quality and safety of health care delivery systems, a number of stakeholders are increasingly looking for more qualitative and efficient ways to deliver care. This study is conducted to provide a clear definition of the patient-centered care pathway and its characteristics to meet the need for an international consensus. Methods: This qualitative systematic review aims to perform a systematic synthesis of published evidence concerning (1) the definition of the patient trajectory, patient pathway or patient journey and (2) their characteristics. With a consulting librarian, a comprehensive and systematic search in three databases was conducted (PUBMED, Embase, ABI/Inform), from 1995 to 2020 without language criteria. Eligibility criteria guiding data selection will follow the PICo mnemonic criteria consisting of (1) Population : all types of patients managed by health care delivery systems for an acute or chronic condition regardless of age or condition, (2) Phenomena : studies that contribute to the definition and conceptualization of the concepts of care trajectory, care pathway and patient journey resulting in a theoretical and conceptual contribution, and (3) Context : health care providers include all providers of primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary care in any geographic area. Two reviewers will independently screen, select, extract data and make a critical assessment of the methodology used with the JBI Qualitative Assessment and Review Instrument (JBI QARI).Discussion: This systematic review will provide much-needed knowledge regarding patient-centered pathways. The results will benefit clinicians, decision makers, and researchers by giving them a clear and integrated definition and understanding of the patient-centered care pathways and their characteristics to finally meet the need for an international consensus.

Introduction: A compassionate and patient-centered care leads to improved clinical outcomes. Promoting empathy and compassion of medical students is a forerunner of their well-being, emotional stability, and a patient-centered care. However, there is slender evidence about best educational interventions that can inculcate empathy and compassion skills. Our objective was to conduct a systematic review of research evaluating the associations between spectrum, effectiveness, frequency of teaching modalities and their outcomes on compassion and empathy to highlight best practices.Methods: We searched the Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and EBSCO Host on 22nd July 2020. We adapted our search strategy from a previously published systematic review on education for compassion and empathy. Selected studies were required to have used unique educational interventions for promoting empathy and compassion of medical students. The research questions were based on Participants (medical students), Intervention (empathy and/or compassion related teaching), Comparison, and Outcome.Results: We analyzed 24 articles from the initial yield of 2,861. Twenty-two were quantitative studies with a mean of 12.8 on MERSQI. Twelve were randomized controlled trials while 5 measured outcomes with single group pre- and post-tests. There was no association found between duration, frequency and complexity of an educational intervention and its effectiveness. Twenty used multimodality curricula, and of those 18 reported statistically significant positive improvement in empathy, while 3 of 4 single modality were effective. Only three studies looked for long-term effects of educational interventions. Fourteen studies evaluated Kirkpatrick's level one (self-reported knowledge), 2 level three (behavior), and 6 level four (patient outcomes). We identified six major educational constructs of teaching empathy and compassion; communication, mindfulness, early clinical exposure, technology-enhanced learning, comics and arts and culture.Discussion: Our review couldn't identify a standard teaching construct in place and highlighted that different teaching tools carry similar impact in promoting compassion and empathy and a sustainable program rather than a single training activity is essential.

This article investigates the associations between the patient-centered care (PCC) and receipt of preventive services among older adults with chronic diseases. Data were derived from the nationally representative Medical Expenditure Panel Survey. The full-year consolidated data files from 2009 to 2013 were pooled to yield a final analytic sample (N = 16 654). Study outcomes included the receipt of 7 types of preventive screenings and 2 types of health education services. Patients’ PCC groups were categorized as PCC, partial PCC, and non-PCC, based on 9 questions classified under the 3 distinctive attributes of PCC—whole-person care, patient engagement, and enhanced access to care. Prevalence rates for each outcome variable were calculated. We estimated odds ratios from multiple logistic regressions, comparing the likelihood of outcome variables across 3 groups of patients. Adjusting for covariates, the PCC group was more likely than the non-PCC group to receive 8 types of preventive services. The partial PCC group had a greater likelihood than the non-PCC group of receiving 7 types of preventive services. Our study reveals significant associations between PCC and receipt of preventive services. PCC has demonstrated the potential to improve preventive care for older adults with chronic diseases.

Patient-centered care that reflects consumer-driven health care decision of an individual as opposed to collective or social choice–based health decision has many implications for clinical decision and resource allocation. With possession of required information and faced with appropriate assessment of preferences, older adults make better choices for their own health. However, one must acknowledge that patient-centered approach for older adults should effectively integrate tenets of value-based care to improve overall quality of care and societal well-being. In this perspective, I present the importance and challenges of patient-centered care and patient-centered outcomes research among older adults.
