Ann-Kristin Porth will facilitate an interesting conversation in which she will discuss one of her papers, titled “putting person-centered care into practice: two psychological care pathways based on outcome preferences of people with diabetes and healthcare professionals”.  This article shows two care pathways that follow a stepped approach, starting with the assessment of psychological well-being and quality of life and proceeding from there. This approach shows promise to facilitate the implementation of person-centred psychosocial diabetes care by reducing the burden and making psychosocial issues more accessible. Find out how these psychosocial care pathways, that reflect the outcome preferences of patients and healthcare providers, were designed and how to utilize the pathways to approach psychosocial problems in consultations.
