Abstract
The Chilean legislation establishes that patients have rights and responsibilities in regards to their
healthcare. This is an important statement as it declares that people must be informed and become
actively involved in their care; meanwhile, the health system needs to coordinate the provision of
personalised and effective services. Although patient-centred care (PCC) and shared decision
making (SDM) are relatively new concepts in Chile, the country is experiencing an interesting
political momentum to create more interventions to achieve PCC and SDM and explore clinical
implementation. Currently, research efforts in Chile have focused on better understanding the state
of the art related to both concepts and how new clinical approaches could help to operationalize
them.
