Patient-centered care

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Patient-centered care is a approach to healthcare that focuses on the individual needs, preferences, and values of the patient. In patient-centered care, the patient is seen as a partner in the healthcare process and their input is valued in all decision making. This approach emphasizes communication, collaboration, and respect for the patient's autonomy. Patient-centered care is associated with improved health outcomes, increased patient satisfaction and better communication between health care providers and patients.
