Providing patient centered care is a crucial element of high quality care. It can be defined as a responsive way of caring for and empowering patients, embodying compassion, empathy, and responsiveness to the patient's needs. The aim of this study was to assess the potential of using EHRs as information source in the development of tools for assessing PCC. An annotation guide following the Person-centred Practice Framework proposed by McCance and McCormack was developed for the purpose of this study. Twenty patients' documents were manually annotated, resulting in 539 expressions. All dimensions of the framework were covered in the documents, with 61.3% of expressions describing the activity of engaging authentically with the patient. The results of this study indicate that electronic health records are one potential source of information in automated evaluation of patient centered care, however more information is still needed on how to interpret this information.
