October is Patient-Centered Care Awareness Month and this week we will discuss what "patient-centered care" means. This definition from the WHO encompasses 2 important pieces to the patient-centered care puzzle - the care must be "tailored to people's needs" AND "provided in partnership with them". Health services should not be a one-way street or provided with a one size fits all approach. Creating a partnership leads to personalized care.

Advocating for yourself as a patient is crucial to receiving the best care possible. In this video, I discuss how patients can empower themselves in healthcare settings by asking the right questions and not being intimidated or shy about inquiring about prescribed medications or treatments. At Mev Specialist Hospital, we believe in fostering patient-centered care, and it's important that every patient feels confident in their ability to communicate with their healthcare providers.

Palliative care is a key component of patient-centered, cost-effective #healthcare. At the upcoming #APGSpringCon24 in San Diego, Matthew Gonzales, MD, from Providence Institute for Human Caring, and Esiquio Casillas, MD, MPH, from AltaMed Health Services, will present their research and offer case examples of effective #palliativecare.
