Defining Patient Centricity

The concept of patient centricity is often represented by a graphic placing the patient at the center, surrounded by various healthcare elements. However, this representation is seen as aspirational rather than fully realized. True patient centricity encompasses not only the patient's preferences and needs but also the complex web of healthcare systems, including healthcare providers, treatment plans, and financial considerations. Achieving a genuinely patient-centric environment necessitates extensive collaboration among all stakeholders in the healthcare system.
