Patient-Cantered Care

Patient-cantered care is an approach to healthcare delivery that prioritizes the individual needs, preferences, values, and goals of patients. It emphasizes active collaboration between patients, families, and healthcare providers in decision-making, treatment planning, and care delivery. Patient-centred care encompasses aspects such as shared decision-making, respect for patient autonomy, communication, empathy, and cultural sensitivity. By focusing on the whole person and their unique circumstances, patient-cantered care aims to improve patient satisfaction, engagement, adherence to treatment, and health outcomes. It fosters a therapeutic relationship built on trust, mutual respect, and shared decision-making, ultimately enhancing the quality and effectiveness of healthcare delivery.
