This volume outlines the patient-centered clinical method, pared down in this edition to four components (by omitting being realistic and integrating prevention and health promotion into other parts). It explains the evolution of the method and its relationship to other models of care, common misconceptions about patient-centeredness, and the history of the method; its components, with cases for illustration; teaching and learning aspects, including parallels to the learner-centered method and medical education, challenges, teaching strategies, and the patient-centered case presentation; the context of teamwork; cost aspects; and research, including qualitative and quantitative methods, measures of patient perceptions of patient-centered care, and a measure to assess encounters using the method.
