Sammanfattning
Background: Efficient service delivery models that optimize processes and human resources are
required in the current health care climate. A family-centered care approach is recognized as a
model that can improve the effectiveness and efficiency of pediatric rehabilitation. The objective
of this study was to explore the perceptions of a multidisciplinary health care team regarding
the use of the Preparation au plan d’intervention (PAPI), a modified needs assessment tool
designed to facilitate a family-centered care approach among children with cerebral motor deficits
(CMD) and their families.
Methods: One focus group was conducted with the multidisciplinary team (n ¼ 10) of the CMD
program at a pediatric rehabilitation center. It was audio recorded and transcribed verbatim for
content analysis.
Results: Three overarching themes were identified from the analyzes: (1) a facilitator of open
communication, (2) a way to gain the unique sense of the child and family and (3) parents as
the experts of their child.
Conclusions: Health care professionals value the use of the PAPI as a way of facilitating a family-centered
care plan process, specifically with children with cerebral motor deficits.
