AB Patient  centeredness  is  increasingly  referenced  as  a  core  value  in  the  provision  of  care  and  the  concept  of  patient-centered  care  is  moving  from  innovation  to  expectation  and  in  some  cases,  even  regulation.  But  what  exactly  does  it  mean  to  be  providing  patient-centered  care,  and  how  does  one  achieve  this,  at  either  the  individual  or  institutional  level?  This  chapter  explores  the  term  patient  centered,  and  current  thinking  about  how  to  strengthen  the  partnership  between  patients  and  providers  in  the  delivery  of  care.  Throughout,  emphasis  is  given  to  those  innovations  most  relevant  to  the  hospitalized  patient.
