What patient-centric healthcare really means for hospitals
Patient-centric healthcare is not about smiling staff or comfortable waiting rooms. It is about redesigning the entire care journey around the person receiving it.
Hospitals must shift from provider-centric scheduling and documentation to patient-oriented pathways.
This involves transparent billing, real-time access to diagnostic test results, and clear post-discharge instructions that patients can easily follow.
