attempt 1 of 3
which outcome is a goal of patient-centered care?
select all that apply. one, some, or all responses may be correct.
eliminating provider-directed care for trauma response
eliminating provider-directed care for surgical emergencies
reducing the cost of healthcare
creating collaborative patient-provider partnerships
improving the health of the population

Explanation:

• Trauma and surgical emergencies require immediate provider-directed care, so eliminating this is not a goal of patient-centered care.
• Reducing healthcare costs is a systemic healthcare goal, not a core outcome of patient-centered care focused on individual patient-provider collaboration.
• Patient-centered care prioritizes shared decision-making, which is achieved through collaborative patient-provider partnerships.
• Improving individual patient health is a focus, while population health is a public health goal, not the direct goal of patient-centered care.

Answer:

Creating collaborative patient-provider partnerships
