Patient-centered care is a healthcare approach that prioritizes the individual patient's preferences, needs, and values in all clinical decisions, ensuring patients are active partners in their own care rather than passive recipients. It is practiced by physicians, nurses, and interdisciplinary care teams and often involves shared decision-making, personalized treatment plans, and attention to emotional and cultural factors alongside physical health. This model has become a core principle in modern healthcare quality and accreditation standards.
