The Institute of Medicine has targeted patient-centered care as one of the 6 domains of quality. Patient centered care invokes many descriptions that have yet to be fully defined. It implies that the focus is on the patient rather then the doctor, technology, records or even evidence based medicine. It suggests that emotions, culture and other human qualities are taken into account.
