Abstract

Patient-centered care is an expectation in our current environment, yet it is only one of the six domains that the Institute of Medicine has described as critical in redesigning the architecture of a medical system. Patients requiring long-term feeding tube access represent a particularly complex group of patients who stress the mechanisms placed within a healthcare system to optimize quality and safety. We describe the implementation of a new approach to this patient population that serves as an example of redesigning a system of care to optimize safety using the principles of patient-centered care while delivering safe, effective, timely, efficient, and equitable care.
