Diversity of interpretations of the concept "patient-centered care for breast cancer patients"; a scoping review of current literature

CONCLUSIONS: We propose, contrary to previous efforts to define "patient-centered care" more accurately, to embrace the heterogeneity of the concept and apply "patient-centered care" as an umbrella-term for all healthcare that intends to contribute to the acknowledgement of the person in the patient. For the justification of measures to realize patient-centered care for breast cancer patients, instead of a mere contribution to the abstract concept, we insist on the demonstration of desirable real-world effects.PMID:34002460 | DOI:10.1111/jep.13584
