Patient-centered care places the individual at the heart of healthcare decisions and delivery, emphasizing their preferences, values, and needs. It involves active participation of patients and their families in healthcare planning and decision-making, fostering a partnership between healthcare providers and recipients. This approach considers patients' cultural backgrounds, beliefs, and social circumstances to tailor treatments and support systems accordingly. Patient-centered care aims to improve outcomes by enhancing communication, promoting shared decision-making, and ensuring respect for patient autonomy and dignity. It shifts focus from treating diseases to caring for the whole person, aiming to enhance satisfaction, trust, and overall quality of care.
