Toward Advanced Nursing Practice along with People-Centered Care Partnership Model for Sustainable Universal Health Coverage and Universal Access to Health.

The paper developed a model rather than testing whether it changed patient health, costs, or access. The evidence base was 42 reviewed citations and 14 projects from one World Health Organization Collaborating Center, so it may not apply elsewhere. Satisfaction was measured with a 10-point visual analogue scale in one fiscal year, without a comparison group or long-term follow-up. The authors note that the literature and projects came mostly from developed countries and that applicability to developing countries needs evaluation. No random assignment, blinding, or control group was used, so the partnership patterns cannot be treated as proven causes of better health.

The work was supported by JSPS KAKENHI Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B), process number 15H05108. The paper does not state other conflicts of interest.

Do not read the 8.9 satisfaction score or the model as proof that people-centered care improves health, reduces costs, or sustains universal coverage. The paper built a model from literature and project reports; it did not test those outcomes.
