Abstract:
Is patient-focused care the model of the future? In 1993, CEOs of selected small hospitals across Ontario were asked if the patient-focused-care model is used in their facilities and, if so, to provide examples of some of the activities involved. This article presents a summary of the study's findings, discusses the model's merits and challenges for implementation, and offers several recommendations to assist hospitals contemplating the introduction of this model of health care delivery.
