Better Together: Advancing Family Centered Care

Family-centered care is recommended as best practice across a variety of pediatric service settings. However, providers in multiple healthcare fields report an ongoing struggle with the translations of family-centered care concepts into their practice. The aim of this book is to provide theoretical background and evidence needed to understand the importance of, and barriers to, family-centered care implementation into everyday work with families. Practical guidelines and solutions to this issue, based on best practices in adult learning and family-centered care, are described in detail.
