在这篇叙述性文章中，作者（一位癌症长期幸存者）反思了他 14 年来与医疗保健系统的个人互动，以强调提供以患者为中心的护理的重要性。他解释了为什么如果护理质量评估仅关注质量的临床指标并且排除从患者角度对以患者为中心的护理方面进行系统评估，那么护理质量评估是不完整的。本评论强调了以患者为中心的护理在减少患者痛苦和增进福祉方面发挥的重要作用。
In this narrative article, the author, a long-term cancer survivor, reflects on his personal interactions with the healthcare system over a period of 14 years in order to highlight the importance of delivering patient-centered care. He makes a case for why quality of care assessments are incomplete if they focus on clinical indicators of quality alone and exclude systematic assessment of the patient-centered aspects of care from the patient's perspective. The important role played by patient-centered care in reducing patient suffering and enhancing well-being is underscored in this commentary.
