Q: What does Person-Centered Care mean to you?
Di Troia: It means to be focused on what the person I’m serving thinks and feels instead of what I think and feel. We create a partnership of thinking together about the best solution of care.
Q: Why should individuals attend this year’s conference/your presentation?
Di Troia: To discover what happens in Italy using CANS and TCOM approach. The CANS has been widely implemented in Italy and we have collaborated greatly with Dr. Lyons to make sure each item is culturally relevant for our population.
Q: What drew you to attend this year?
Di Troia: I’m most excited about the possibility to meet people and learn from their experiences.
Q: Why did you choose to present on this specific topic?
Di Troia: We’ve had an open collaboration since 2013, and I want to share what is moving in my country and listen to people from other countries and cultures. It’s always a good professional exchange experience to attend the TCOM Conference.
