Key result
Person-centred inpatient care improved patient-reported pain relief and awareness of planned medical care compared to usual care, with no effect on weight measurement frequency.
Why the study?
Transitioning from disease-centred to person-centred care requires great effort, but its effects on patient safety needed evaluation.
Does person-centred inpatient care improve patient safety and care experiences in adult inpatients compared to usual care?
Observational (n=484)
