Twelve patients will be asked to:

  1. Share their stories;
  2. Develop a group definition of patient-centred care;
  3. From that definition, create a framework to advise the research on the degree of patient-centredness of the programs under study.
  4. On an on-going basis, review the definition of patient-centred care developed at study beginning with a view to identifying its strengths, weaknesses, and usefulness as well as opportunities for further development of a patient-centred definition which may arise as a result of the research process.
