Abstract

This study analyzes actions taken by hospital leaders throughout the United States to improve the services offered by their institutions. A review of studies by researchers on patient-centered care, doctor and nurse collaboration, and involvement of patients' families in the patients' experience revealed that increased focus on patient-centered care, doctor and nurse collaboration, and involvement of patients' families is necessary for trust to be attained by patients.
