TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Family-Centered Care and Shared Decision Making in Rehabilitation Medicine A1 - Houtrow, Amy J. A2 - Mitra, Raj Y1 - 2019 N1 - T2 - Principles of Rehabilitation Medicine AB - Family-centered care is a partnership between patients and their families and the health care system. It is an approach to care that encourages shared decision making in which patients and families are engaged with health care providers to come to a decision that addresses risks and benefits as well as patient and family preferences, values, and circumstances. Family-centered care is an important part of value-based care that focuses on improving outcomes, satisfaction, and efficiency. This chapter reviews family-centered care and shared decision-making principles in the context of rehabilitation care. Although the related term, “patient-centered care,” is frequently used interchangeably with family-centered care, this chapter will use family-centered care because in rehabilitation medicine as in pediatrics, families are often heavily involved in decision making. Families may consist of traditional family units or other social units in which involved parties have a shared social commitment to the mutual relationship.
