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.
