The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the current state of the art concerning patient-centred care (PCC), shared decision-making (SDM), and patient involvement in health care in Italy, by updating the previous versions of the review. In the past 5 years some progress has been made towards a higher involvement of patients in their health care and patient-centredness into the national health care system. The updated scoping literature search focused on articles reporting primary data collected in Italy and showed a great increase in the number of publications. Nonetheless, the research efforts are still relatively sporadic compared to other countries especially as for evaluations of interventions and, most notably, they are not driven by a consistent effort to promote SDM and PCC in clinical practice., (Copyright © 2022.

The main focus of this paper is to describe the development and current state of policy, research and implementation of patient-centered care (PCC) and shared decision-making (SDM) in Germany. What is the current state in health policy? Since 2013, the Law on Patients' Rights has standardized all rights and responsibilities regarding medical care for patients in Germany. This comprises the right to informed decisions, comprehensive and comprehensible information, and decisions based on a clinician-patient partnership. In addition, reports and action plans such as the German Ethics Council's report on patient well-being, the National Health Literacy Action Plan, or the National Cancer Plan emphasize and foster PCC and SDM on a policy level. There are a number of public organizations in Germany that support PCC and SDM. How are patients and the public involved in health policy and research? Publishers and funding agencies increasingly demand patient and public involvement. Numerous initiatives and organizations are involved in publicizing ways to engage patients and the public. Also, an increasing number of public and research institutions have established patient advisory boards. How is PCC and SDM taught? Great progress has been made in introducing SDM into the curricula of medical schools and other health care providers' (HCPs) schools (e.g., nursing, physical therapy). What is the German research agenda? The German government and other public institutions have constantly funded research programs in which PCC and SDM are important topics. This yielded several large-scale funding initiatives and helped to develop SDM training programs for HCPs in different fields of health care and information materials. Recently, two implementation studies on SDM have been conducted. What is the current uptake of PCC and SDM in routine care, and what implementation efforts are underway? Compared to the last country report from 2017, PCC and SDM efforts in policy, research and education have been intensified. However, many steps are still needed to reliably implement SDM in routine care in Germany. Specifically, the further development and uptake of decision tools and countrywide SDM trainings for HCPs require further efforts. Nevertheless, an increasing number of decision support tools - primarily with support from health insurance funds and other public agencies - are to be implemented in routine care. Also, recent implementation efforts are promising. For example, reimbursement by health insurance companies of hospital-wide SDM implementation is being piloted. A necessary next step is to nationally coordinate the gathering and provision of the many PCC and SDM resources available., (Copyright © 2022. Published by Elsevier GmbH.)

Five years ago, we published a 'wake-up' paper on shared decision-making (SDM) in West Africa. In the current paper, our overview has been expanded to more African regions (central and north, in addition to the west) as well as to person-centred care (PCC) approaches. While these concepts are known in all regions to varying degrees, results indicate that most known SDM and PCC efforts originate from West Africa. In general, the focus seems to be predominantly on partnership-driven healthcare programs, such as COVID-19 infection; HIV/AIDS and maternal/neonatal care; and patient-provider communication and patient participation instead of comprehensive SDM approaches. The findings also indicate the absence of SDM training for African health professionals beyond specific healthcare programs, but some education on decision-making or critical appraisal of health information in primary or undergraduate health schools is carried out in certain African countries. Building on these sectoral initiatives, future directions include developing research and training programs in the perspective of scaling effective approaches., (Copyright © 2022.

Patient-centred care (PCC) is a pillar of quality health services, where decision-making power is shared between the clinician and the patient. Although, this approach could be adopted with easiness in high income settings or in countries with unified health systems, in settings such as Peru, where universal access and other structural problems remain a challenge, the practice of PCC is not a priority. In Peru, research on PCC has been conducted for almost two decades, but this has not generated a need for development in academia, decision makers, health personnel or patients. Here, we give an overview of the road that PCC research has taken in Peru and the challenges that remain to translate it into clinical practice., (Copyright © 2022. Published by Elsevier GmbH.)

In Hungary, the National Health Insurance Fund provides health care coverage for nearly all residents, but healthcare spending is below the EU's average (6.4% versus 9.9% of the GDP in 2019, respectively). In 1997, patients' rights were established by laws of the healthcare system. The patients' voice, however, has remained weakly embedded in decision-making processes both on the system and individual patient levels. Policy progress achieved in the past years may foster patient-centeredness in health policy decision-making. However, people-reported data are not yet embedded in the Hungarian health information system and national population or household surveys, thus undermining the monitoring of the performance of the health system regarding patient-centred aspects. From the academic research side, several advances have occurred regarding the availability of validated instruments for the measurement of patient-centred aspects. These recent studies have placed Hungary in a uniquely advanced position compared with other countries in the Central and Eastern European (CEE) region. The use of those instruments in clinical guidelines and practices, to the education curricula of future health workers, is still in an early stage., (Copyright © 2022. Published by Elsevier GmbH.)

In Chile, local normative and guidelines place patient-centred care (PCC) as a desirable means and outcome for each level of health care. Thus, a definition of PCC is provided, and for the first time shared decision-making (SDM) is included as an intended practice. During the past five years the country has shown progress on the implementation of PCC. A large pilot study was conducted in one of the Metropolitan Health Services, and now the health authority is committed to escalate a PCC strategy nationwide. From the practice domain, most of the work is being placed on the training of health professionals. Patients' preparation for the clinical encounter is scarce, thereby limiting their potential to participate in their care. At the research domain, the country shows a strengthened agenda that has advanced from a diagnostic phase (including the exploration from social sciences) to a purposeful stage which involves the development of training programs, patient decision aids, international collaborations, and other PCC interventions. The country is now positioned to secure new initiatives to empower patients and allow them to take an active role, as a key component of PCC and SDM., (Copyright © 2022. Published by Elsevier GmbH.)

Although there have been breakthroughs in patients' rights and informed consent legislation in Iran during the last few years, there is still no policy regarding shared decision-making (SDM). Besides, SDM training and clinical implementation initiatives remain scarce within the country. In this article, we aim to provide an update on the current state of SDM in Iran and discuss future directions. Lastly, we propose an SDM model adapted to the Iranian context, through a consensus-building process with Iranian clinicians and SDM experts, to assist in its implementation in a culturally sensitive manner., (Copyright © 2022.

In Canada, government mandates for patient-centred care (PCC) vary across the 10 provinces and three territories. Although basic medical and hospital services are provided for all, health care options for patients also depend on having private insurance. Thus, the current design of the Canadian healthcare system has several implications for PCC and shared decision-making (SDM). Since 2007, this is our fourth update on SDM in Canada. The aim of this paper is to provide an update on the current state of SDM and patient and public involvement in Canada. Overall, we still observed the difficulty of implementing any sort of national strategy partly because of the decentralized nature of the healthcare system. Second, national professional education programs are complicated by licensure and scope of practice variations across jurisdictions. Third, there are variations in the availability of different options covered by universal healthcare. Canada has experienced some favorable development as PCC is now explicitly articulated in the policies of most provinces and territories and there are increased efforts to give patients more access to their electronic health records. However, patient and public engagement (PPE) reform in health programs and governance remains an exception, and continuing centralization of governance structures may reduce their responsiveness to patient priorities. In a 2018 survey, 47.2% of respondents reported that they were not told by their health professional that they had a choice about treatment. Nonetheless, decision aids and decision coaching are increasingly available for health-related decisions and the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute's decision aid inventory has ensured continued leadership in this area. Diverse jurisdictions are starting to embed decision aids into care pathways, with some decision aids being included in clinical practice guidelines. The COVID-19 pandemic may have had a negative impact on SDM by removing decision choices due to emergency public health mandates, but stimulated new research and decision aids. Canada continues to assign health research funding to SDM and PCC, and a program dedicated to patient-oriented research is central to this effort. Guides and frameworks are increasingly available for planning and evaluating PPE. Finally, various initiatives are attempting to involve and empower Indigenous peoples through PPE and SDM., (Copyright © 2022. Published by Elsevier GmbH.)

Argentina is an upper-middle income country located in South America with an estimated population of 46.2 million inhabitants. There is no unified research agenda or government initiatives encouraging the implementation and research of Shared Decision-Making (SDM). Our working group at the Family and Community Medicine Division of the Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires is the leading centre for research and implementation of SDM in the country. The implementation strategy is articulated in undergraduate, postgraduate and continuous medical education. However, it is challenged by the professionals' perception that they are already doing it or lack time during consultations. We have advanced research to understand how to adapt tools to measure and implement SDM in our settings. Still, we face additional challenges related to funding, accessing diverse populations beyond the reach of our institution and incorporating patients in the co-production of research. While most of our efforts arise from the voluntary work of our healthcare professionals, we believe this is a strength since SDM research and implementation are then directly linked to patient care., (Copyright © 2022.

We present the evolution of patient-centered care (PCC) and shared decision-making (SDM) in France since 2017, highlighting advantages and drawbacks of their implementation at the macro level. We then focus on several key policy and legislative milestones that are aimed to develop PCC and SDM. These milestones underline the importance of patient movements to support and fund the development of research and practice in the field. We shall conclude by presenting the growing research agenda and selected key topics. These key topics notably include the increase in both patient and healthcare professional trainings on PCC and SDM provided by healthcare users' and patients' representatives. PCC and SDM continue to be central preoccupations at the macro level, supported by public health policies and patients/healthcare users' actions. This overview, however, suggests that although implementation initiatives have increased since 2017, implementation remains scarce in routine clinical practice. Funding, not only for research projects, but for the implementation of PCC and SDM in real-life settings (e-decision aids, clinical guidelines integrating PCC/SDM, human resources dedicated to PCC/SDM, etc.) are needed to promote sustained adoption. More systematic training for both healthcare professionals and patients is also warranted for a true acculturation to occur., (Copyright © 2022. Published by Elsevier GmbH.)
