Summary
Assessing Person Centered Care (PCC) for the elderly requires diverse tools. A combined assessment strategy is recommended for a comprehensive evaluation of care quality.
Area of Science:
- Gerontology
- Healthcare Quality Management
- Social Sciences
Background:
- Person Centered Care (PCC) is a key approach for enhancing elderly care quality.
- International recognition highlights the importance of assessing PCC in aged care services.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review existing procedures and instruments for assessing Person Centered Care (PCC) in elderly services.
- To identify measurement tools used across various care settings, including residential, day centers, and home help.
Main Methods:
- Systematic review of measurement instruments for PCC in elderly care.
- Consultation of major databases, research articles, and specialized websites.
- Focus on instruments assessing observational, physical space, user, family, and professional perspectives.
Main Results:
- Cataloged four observational instruments for PCC assessment.
- Identified five instruments for physical space evaluation and six for user opinions.
- Included one instrument for family opinions, five for professionals, and qualitative self-assessment tools.
Conclusions:
- The diversity of PCC assessment instruments necessitates a combined strategy to avoid partial evaluations.
- Integrating various assessment measures into a broader service evaluation is crucial.
- Holistic evaluation should encompass multiple facets of care quality for effective PCC implementation.

The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.
