Ofta tar personalen för givet att vården är personcentrerad, men patienter och närstående vittnar om förhållningssätt och arbetssätt som kan ses som det motsatta. För att vården på allvar ska bli personcentrerad krävs genomgripande omställningar och denna bok handlar om sådant omställningsarbete.Här presenteras ett ramverk för personcentrerade arbetssätt som i sin tur bygger på det ramverk för personcentrerad omvårdnad som McCormack m.fl. tidigare publicerat. Boken kompletterar svensk forskning genom sitt tydliga fokus på de förhållnings- och arbetssätt som krävs av personal och ledare så att organisationer kan skapa en personcentrerad arbetsplatskultur för multiprofessionella team.Den svenska utgåvan har sakkunniggranskats och kompletterats för svenska förhållanden av Joakim Öhlén, föreståndare för Centrum för personcentrerad vård (GPCC) vid Göteborgs universitet.Boken kan med fördel användas inom samtliga hälso- och sjukvårdsutbildningar på såväl grundnivå som avancerad nivå, samt av redan yrkesverksamma.
