Abstract

Patient-centred care is a key priority for governments, providers and stakeholders, yet little is known about the care preferences of patient groups. We completed a scoping review that yielded 193 articles for analysis. Five health states were used to account for the diversity of possible preferences based on health needs. Five broad themes were identified and expressed differently across the health states, including personalized care, navigation, choice, holistic care and care continuity. Patients' perspectives must be considered to meet the diverse needs of targeted patient groups, which can inform health system planning, quality improvement initiatives and targeting of investments.

Les soins axés sur le patient sont une priorité clé pour les gouvernements, les fournisseurs et les intervenants, mais on en sait peu sur les préférences de soins des groupes de patients. Nous avons effectué un examen de la portée dans lequel 193 articles ont été analysés. Cinq états de santé ont été utilisés pour rendre compte de la diversité des préférences possibles en fonction des besoins en santé. Cinq grands thèmes ont été identifiés et exprimés différemment selon l'état de santé: les soins personnalisés, la navigation, le choix, les soins holistiques et la continuité des soins. Le point de vue du patient doit être pris en compte afin de répondre aux divers besoins des groupes ciblés, ce qui peut éclairer la planification du système de santé de même que les initiatives visant l'amélioration des soins ainsi que le ciblage des investissements.
