Abstract

Person-centered care can be measured and monitored by
using validated tools such as the Person-centered care
Index (PCI). Simpler and shorter versions of such indices
may help in enhancing their appeal, and expanding their
usage across health care settings. We propose a visual,
simplified tabular, and brief textual version of the PCI. These
alternatives can complement the original tool, and serve
as user-friendly teaching tools.
Keywords: Biopsychosocial model, chronic care model,
patient centered care, person-centered care.
