Abstract

This Special Issue of the journal draws on selected papers presented at the 8th International Organisational Behaviour in Healthcare Conference (OBHC), hosted by Mary A. Keating of Trinity College Dublin from 15-17 April 2012. The interdisciplinary conference theme focused on “Patient-centred healthcare teams: achieving collaboration, communication and care”. The conference attracted a record number of full-paper submissions, with more than 130 delegates from 17 countries, representing schools of healthcare management, nursing, medicine, business and social sciences. Full papers were peer reviewed by the Scientific Organising Committee and more than 40 international reviewers. Over three days the international cohort presented, debated and discussed international perspectives on the range of ways in which patient-centred healthcare can be conceptualised, enhanced and delivered. Patient-centred care (PCC) is a rising policy priority internationally, and one of the six dimensions of quality care identified by the Institute of Medicine in 2001.
