Patient-centered care focuses on value and accessibility, differing fundamentally from traditional care models by emphasizing comprehensive healthcare responsibility and communication. Supported by policies like the Affordable Care Act and the implementation of various accountable care organizations, patient-centered care aims to improve patient engagement and transparency. Challenges include the need for more time and resources, which can be alleviated through effective health IT partnerships that streamline workflows and facilitate compliance with healthcare initiatives.
