Surgery and Anaesthesia

Patient-Centered Surgical Care

Patient-centered surgical care emphasizes individual needs, preferences, and values in all aspects of surgical treatment. This approach fosters shared decision-making, effective communication, and personalized care plans. It includes considerations such as pain management, emotional support, cultural sensitivity, and family involvement. By involving patients in their care journey, outcomes and satisfaction improve. Technological tools like mobile apps and telemedicine enhance education and follow-up. Patient-centered care reduces anxiety, increases adherence to postoperative instructions, and builds trust. It aligns with value-based healthcare, ensuring that surgical interventions are not only clinically effective but also meaningful and respectful to each patient’s experience.
