Patient-Centered Care: Putting the Individual at the Heart of the Healthcare System

Abstract

Charles Choguill*

Patient-centered care is a transformative approach to healthcare that places the individual at the forefront of decision-making and care delivery. It shifts the focus from a traditional provider-centered model to one that recognizes and responds to the unique needs, preferences, values, and goals of each patient. This article explores the concept of patient-centered care, its key principles, and the impact it has on healthcare outcomes and patient satisfaction.
