While person-centered care (PCC) has been widely studied at the micro level, significantly less attention has been given to its development and implementation at the meso and macro (governance) levels. However, sustainable transformation toward person-centered systems requires engagement and evidence-building across all levels of the healthcare system. This panel brings together researchers working within various governance-level implementation projects at the Gothenburg Centre for Person-Centred Care (GPCC) to explore the opportunities, challenges, and methodological considerations of researching PCC at this level. The panel will be moderated by Hanna Gyllensten, Associate Professor in Health and Care Sciences, with expertise in health economics and governance research. She has been involved in all the featured projects and will guide the discussion to draw out key learnings, gaps, and future directions for governance-level PCC research. Presentations include: Malin Tistad, Associate Professor in Care Science, Dalarna University, will present research from a region in Sweden on how political directives can shape and influence person-centered practices at the governance level. Markus Sarajärvi, researcher at Karolinska Institutet, will share lessons learned from a national implementation program aimed at embedding sustainable, person-centered care for young people. Jenny Wising, PhD candidate at GPCC, will discuss the implementation and evaluation of a leadership program aimed at promoting person-centered practice in social and healthcare settings. Lina Emmesjö, postdoctoral researcher at GPCC, will share insights from governance-level implementation of policy lab methodologies to foster person-centered innovation. Theresa Larsen, PhD candidate at GPCC and project leader at the Gothenburg Region, will describe the design, implementation and evaluation of a web-based PCC education program for municipal care professionals The panel will conclude with a moderated discussion on cross-cutting themes, practical implications, and future research needs at the intersection of governance and person-centered care.
