Patient-centered care takes into consideration patients’ individual circumstances, including:
- Lifestyle
- Family situations
- Cultural traditions
- Religious beliefs
- Other factors during care planning and implementation
It puts responsibility for important aspects of self-care and monitoring in patients’ hands, along with the tools and support they need to carry out that responsibility. In this way, patient-centered care can reduce unneeded and unwanted services and also improve outcomes.
We uphold a strong culture of patient-centered care which extends across every discipline including rehabilitation, pharmacy, social work, nutrition and medical services.
Through training and communication, we ensure that transitions between providers, departments, and health care settings are respectful, coordinated and efficient.
