我们该如何理解“以患者为中心的医疗”,如何理解“患者邀约”（Patient Engagement），下面是美国一家医疗机构在“患者为本宣传月”的宣传昭示，也许可以为我们解读一二。
 

    A patient is anindividual to be cared for, not a medical condition to be treated

    患者是应受到关爱的人，而不是要治疗的疾病。

    Each patient is aunique person, with diverse needs.

    每位患者都是有着不同需求的独特个体。

    Each staff member is a caregiver, whose role is to meet the needs of each patient.

    每一位医务人员都是照护者，其任务就是满足每位患者的需求。

    Our patients are our partners and have knowledge and expertise that is essential to their care.

    我们的患者是我们的合作伙伴，他们具备自我保健的基本知识和技能。

    Our patients' family and friends are also our partners and we welcome their involvement.

    我们的患者家属和朋友也是我们的合作伙伴，我们欢迎他们参与。

    Access to understandable health ***rmation is essential to empower patients to participate in their care and it is our responsibility to provide access to that ***rmation.

    获得易于理解的医疗保健信息是让患者有能力参与其医疗保健的必要条件，而提供这类信息是我们的责任。

    The opportunity to make decisions is essential to the well-being of our patients. It is our responsibility to maximize patients' opportunities for choices and to respect those choices.

    让患者有机会参与决策，对我们的患者的福祉安康至关重要。尽可能多地给予患者选择机会并尊重他们的选择是我们的责任。

    Our patients' well-beingcan be enhanced by an optimal healing environment, including access to musicand the arts, satisfying food, and complementary therapies.

    提供最佳的治疗环境，包括聆听音乐，鉴赏艺术，饮食满意和补充疗法都可以增强我们的患者的幸福感。

    To effectively care for patients, we must also care for our staff members by supporting them in achieving their highest professional aspirations, as well as their personal goals.

    为了有效地医护患者，我们也必须关爱我们的员工，支持其实现最大的职业抱负以及个人生活目标。

    Patient-centered careis the core of a high quality health care system and a necessary foundation for safe, effective, efficient, timely, and equitable care.

    以患者为中心的医疗是一个高水准的医疗机构的核心，是实现医疗安全、高效、及时、公平的必要基础条件。
