Effects of patient-centered care (PCC) as interventions on patient outcomes

Abstract

Introduction: In the current era of globalization where healthcare organizations are becoming more focused on patient outcomes due to the increasing demand for higher-quality health services, it is necessary to conduct research on the effects of PCC interventions on patient outcomes. Methods: A Systematic review. Search was conducted on several databases like Google Scholar, PUBMED,and Science Direct. Inclusion criteria are PCC intervention which is depicted as a partnership between health care providers and patients. Studies are analyzed based on methodology, type of interventions, outcomes, and effects of the interventions. Eleven tests fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Results: Most of the patient outcomes analyzed in this systematic review show a significant effect on a patient with PCC interventions (72.4%). Length of stay, surgery delay, patient satisfaction, cost of treatment, readmission rate, perception of nursing care, and quality of service are among the outcomes investigated. Other clinical outcomes were also studied, including perioperative complication, post-operative pain level, anxiety level, functional status, quality of life, blood pressure, lipid blood level, and hemoglobin A1c. Only a few outcomes were proven insignificant (27.6 %). Conclusions: The PCC intervention allows the patient to be actively involved in their care.
