Atenção centrada no paciente na prática interprofissional colaborativa

Abstract

The aim of this study is to describe key-elements of patient-centred care and its relationship with interprofessional collaborative practice in Primary Health Care, in the context of Unified Health System. Based on national and international review. The outcomes show that as professionals shift their focus towards patient centred care and patient’s needs, their scope of view is broadened beyond the limits of their own professional activities. This shift is an enabler for changes in the current health care model towards comprehensive care and potentially impacting the quality of services.
