In a nutshell: Explores the research into patient centred care, which is beginning to receive more attention. Research has been uneven and highly specialized: communication, privacy and dignity are well researched whereas involvement of family and friends, and coordination of care have received comparatively little attention. In addition, most research focuses on patients’ experience in acute hospitals though there is some from primary care, mental health settings and end-of-life care.
