Through the utilization of (Walker & Avant, 2011) method for the analyzing framework as well as the application Jean Watson’s caring theory adopt a clear definition of patient centered care. A scholarly literature review of the concept of patient centered care, identify the purpose, uses, defining attributes, two model cases, two alternative cases, one antecedent, one consequence, two empirical referents, and concluding statements presenting new knowledge on the concepts acquired from writing this paper.
