Healthcare organizations have used "patient-centered evidence-based clinical care process" to convey their transformational strategy, particularly in the context of promoting IT-enabled changes. However, there are no commonly accepted definitions and measures to help organizations assess the extent to which their processes are "patient-centered evidence-based." What does "patient-centered evidence-based clinical process" mean to you? What are the key dimensions/characteristics of a "patient-centered evidence-based clinical process"? Or in other words, what keywords would you use to capture "patient-centered" clinical process? What keywords...
