Person-centred care and information driven care: finding common ground. Passed

Tuesday May 14, 2024 14:45 - 15:45 G3

Panelists: Axel Wolf, Elin Siira, Jens Nygren, Petra Svedberg

Track: Precision Health

Person-centred care (PCC) encompasses the holistic consideration of each patient as an unique individual, accounting for their unique abilities, needs, and social and cultural backgrounds in all parts of the care process (1-4). Widely regarded as the pinnacle of care provision, PCC is deemed essential to be incorporated into all facets of healthcare (5). Information-driven care (IDC) signifies an approach to healthcare wherein decisions, workflow, and organizational processes related to patient care are significantly influenced by the application of information derived from advanced data analysis. IDC integrates artificial intelligence (AI) and systematic data collection and utilization to inform and enhance healthcare service delivery (6). At times, the pursuit of PCC and IDC may appear incompatible or even at odds in their nature, presenting challenges for their harmonious integration within contemporary healthcare systems (7). For instance, AI has been suggested to challenge the trust in the doctor-patient relationship (8, 9), which is crucial to PCC. However, research also suggests that AI can enhance aspects of PCC, such as personalization and shared decision making, thereby supporting PCC (7). To date, the integration of PCC and IDC in healthcare is still in its early stages, leaving numerous unresolved queries on how to do so effectively. The aim of this symposium is to promote interdisciplinary knowledge sharing among researchers from two specialised Swedish research centres focusing on PCC and IDC. Specifically, the Centre for Person-centred Care (GPCC) at the University of Gothenburg and the Information driven care research program at Halmstad University. Representatives from both centres will showcase research projects, offering the audience an in-depth insight into the latest developments in PCC and IDC and explore potential avenues for seamlessly integrating these two approaches within the healthcare sector.

Axel Wolf is the Director of the University of Gothenburg Centre for Person-centred Care (GPCC), a leading interdisciplinary research center boasting over 200 national and international researchers dedicated to person-centred care research (www.gpcc.gu.se). He serves in a dual capacity as Professor and Senior Consultant Nurse Anaesthetist at the Sahlgrenska University Hospital and Sahlgrenska Academy at the University of Gothenburg, and as a Professor at OsloMet University in Oslo, Norway. His academic qualifications consist of an Executive MBA from the University of Gothenburg School of Business, Economics & Law, and a PhD in Healthcare Science from the Sahlgrenska Academy.
His research encompasses various dimensions of person-centred healthcare services, including examining the organizational prerequisites for implementing person-centred care, enhancing Patient- and Public Involvement (PPI), and advancing mobile eHealth and Peer-to-Peer platforms. Wolf collaborates with esteemed researchers globally, including those from the USA (Duke University), Spain (University of Navarra), the UK (University of Exeter & University of Plymouth), Finland (Åbo Akademi University), Denmark (IT University of Copenhagen), and Austria (University of Graz). He currently presides over the European standardisation committee (CEN/TC450), focusing on patient involvement in person-centred care, and co-founded the Gothenburg Pain Lab, an innovative research initiative for person-centred pain research (www.gothenburgpainlab.com)."
