Family-focused care

Family-focused care is a healthcare approach that involves including family members in the planning, decision-making, and support processes for a patient's health and well-being. It recognizes that families play a vital role in recovery and prevention, and encourages their active participation to improve outcomes. This approach respects the patient’s preferences, values, and cultural background, fostering open communication and collaboration among healthcare providers, patients, and families. Ultimately, family-focused care aims to create a supportive environment that enhances healing and quality of life through teamwork and shared understanding.
