Patient-Centred Care

The concept of patient-centred care is taking root in healthcare. For hospitals, this is a paradigm shift. Processes hitherto designed around the disease or physicians, are now being redesigned keeping the patient in mind. This also means that the patient will be more involved with the care providers.
