Health and social care professionals' experiences of collaborative planning-Applying the person-centred practice framework.

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.
