Patient-Centered Care in Family Medicine: Strategies for Continuity and Comprehensive Care for Older Adults - A Mixed-Methods Study.
Article in Clinical interventions in aging, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Patient-centered care (PCC) is a crucial approach in family medicine, particularly for older adults with complex health needs. This study evaluates the implementation of PCC strategies and their impact on health outcomes for older adults in family medicine settings. Methods: A convergent parallel mixed-methods study was conducted, involving 47 healthcare providers and 126 older adult patients in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Quantitative data were collected using structured surveys, while qualitative data were obtained through semi-structured interviews. Statistical analyses included chi-square tests, ANOVA, and effect size calculations to assess the impact of PCC strategies. Results: Healthcare providers identified continuity of care programs (48.9%) and patient education (44.7%) as the most effective PCC strategies. Key challenges included time constraints (74.5%) and lack of resources (59.6%). Patients in the high PCC implementation group demonstrated significantly better health outcomes, including lower hospital readmission rates (15.9% vs 36.5%, p=0.002), improved chronic disease management (87.3% vs 66.7%, p=0.014), higher adherence to care plans (82.5% vs 60.3%, p=0.008), and increased patient satisfaction scores (mean 4.6 vs 3.9, p=0.001). Qualitative findings highlighted key themes, including communication challenges, patient empowerment, and the role of multidisciplinary teams. Discussion: PCC strategies significantly enhance health outcomes and patient satisfaction among older adults in family medicine. However, implementation barriers such as time constraints, resource limitations, and coordination challenges must be addressed. The study underscores the need for systemic healthcare reforms to improve PCC delivery. Conclusion: This study highlights the benefits of PCC in improving patient outcomes and satisfaction while identifying barriers that must be addressed for effective implementation. Greater investment in PCC initiatives, improved healthcare coordination, and professional training are essential to enhancing care quality for older adults.
