Aim: To develop a proactive person-centered care approach for persons with (multiple) chronic diseases in general practice, and to explore the impact on 'Quadruple aims': experiences of patients and professionals, patient outcomes and costs of resources use.
Background: The management of people with multiple chronic diseases challenges health care systems designed around single disease. Patients with multimorbidity often receive highly fragmented care that may lead to inefficient, ineffective and potentially harmful treatments and neglect of essential health needs. A more comprehensive, person-centered approach is advocated for persons with multiple morbidities. However, examples on how to provide more person-centered care and evidence of its impact are scarce. A group of Dutch general practitioners (GPs) took the initiative to develop such a care approach.
Methods/design: Mixed methods with a development and pilot-testing phase. The proactive person-centered approach will be developed using an action-based research design consisting of multiple plan-act-observe-reflect-adjust cycles. In each cycle, experiences of patients and primary care professionals from 13 practices will be collected via interviews, observations and focus groups. Starting point for the first cycle is a 'person-centered consultation' of up to 1 h in which the GP discusses the health status and health care needs of the patient. Furthermore, shared decisions between GP and patient are made on treatment goals and follow-up. In the pilot-test phase, a nested case cohort study allows to explore the impact of the new approach on 'Quadruple aim' outcomes comparing persons with and without exposure to the new care approach.
Discussion: This study will provide a proactive person-centered approach for persons with multimorbidity in primary care and estimate its potential impact on quadruple outcomes.

Context: Heart failure has high, growing global prevalence, morbidity and mortality, and is a leading cause of death with serious health-related suffering in low- and middle-income countries. Person-centred care (PCC) is a critical component of high-quality healthcare and is particularly vital in the context of a serious illness such as heart failure. However, there are limited data exploring PCC in this population in low- and middle-income settings.

Purpose: Multidimensional Individualized Stuttering Therapy (MIST) is based on proactive collaborative work and shared decision making between client and clinician with the goal of identifying individual case-appropriate procedures and therapy elements in a manner that is meaningful and context-sensitive for each person. MIST combines value- and awareness-based elements from acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) with stuttering and speech modification interventions. In keeping with the principles of ACT, we locate mindfulness as part of an embodied practice facilitated through a collaboration between the person who stutters and the speech-language therapist.

Objective: Within the objective of defining targets for interventions to support self-management behaviors among people living with spinal cord injury, this study aims to describe self-management attitudes and beliefs in community-dwelling people living with spinal cord injury in Switzerland and to identify their correlates in terms of personal characteristics and outcomes, such as secondary health conditions and quality of life.
Design: This is a cross-sectional, observational study using data from the third community survey of the Swiss Spinal Cord Injury Cohort Study.
Results: Out of 1158 individuals, the data revealed high endorsement in areas of prevention importance, perceived knowledge, adherence to recommendations, and proactive problem-solving.

Objective: Democratise healthcare and research through a model that ensures the participation of patients and professionals.
Method: Weaknesses are analysed and corrections are articulated with a model through biweekly meetings between the hospital's citizen attention and healthcare management.
Results: The resulting model is proactive in nature, deployed between November-2021 and December-2023 and had three elements: Information, Co-creation and Strategy (ICE).
Article Synopsis
- The article discusses the importance of trauma-informed care principles—safety, compassion, collaboration, communication, autonomy, and empowerment—in maternal health, highlighting their vulnerability to implicit bias.
- It emphasizes that perinatal nurses should consistently practice trauma-informed care to enhance person-centered care for everyone, regardless of their background.
- The REVIVE interventions are presented as evidence-based nursing strategies aimed at promoting these principles, with the potential to improve maternal health outcomes and minimize disparities, by focusing on proactive actions rather than bias.
