Health and social care professionals’ experiences of collaborative planning—Applying the person‐centred practice framework

Abstract

Abstract Aim To explore how person‐centred practice framework can be applied to professionals participating in collaborative planning. Design An explorative, deductive approach. Method Eleven professionals from health care and social care participated in the study. A deductive content analysis was performed using a framework for person‐centred practice for the analysis. Results Practicing person‐centred care and collaborative planning is a complex process that needs to take into account system factors on both the macro‐ and the microlevel. Everyone working within the system needs to apply the same approach. Using a framework analysis offered new insights into how person‐centred care is expressed in practice during collaborative planning between the patient, and healthcare and social care professionals.
