What Is Patient-Centered Care? Benefits, Key Principles, and Real-World Examples

Patient-centered care is one of the most important ideas shaping how healthcare is delivered today. Patient-centered care puts the person, not the illness, at the center of every clinical interaction. This approach is a change from health systems that are moving away from episodic, provider-driven models.

Instead of saying, “What is wrong with this patient?” Patient-centered care asks, “What is most important to this patient?” This difference changes the way care is planned, given, and judged in a big way.

In this blog, we talk about what patient-centered care really means, why it matters, and give real-life examples of it, with a focus on nursing, where this approach has the most obvious and immediate effects.
