Patient-centric care focuses on involving patients in their own care through shared decision making and improved communication. It has been shown to lead to better health outcomes while reducing costs. To achieve patient-centric care, providers must center care around the patient experience, advocate for population health, and find more cost-effective ways of delivering services. New technologies like telehealth, mobile apps, and wearables can also help facilitate more patient-centric approaches.
