Gaps exist in the ways of monitoring care during transition periods and there is a need to help organizations better implement and monitor safe person-and family-centered care. Value statements are a way to obtain narratives in lay terms about how well care, treatment and support is organized to meet the needs and preferences of patients/families. The purpose of this study was to identify the value statements that are perceived by decision-makers and patients/families to best signify safe person- and family-centered care during transitions from hospital to home.enCanadaDecision MakingFemaleHumansMaleDelphi TechniqueHospitalsInternetPatient ReadmissionPatient TransferPatient-Centered CareArticle10.1371/journal.pone.0211024
