Putting “what matters to you?” into practice: a focused team-based ethnographic study on goal-oriented care
These findings highlight the importance of strengthening reflective competencies in training of primary care providers. In practice, this entails supporting providers to reflect on their professional responsibilities, alongside those of the other disciplines they work with in health and social care; and critically engage with assumptions. This reflective capacity is key to embedding GOC in daily practice and aligning care with what truly matters to patients.
