input from patients and families

Input from patients and families involves listening to their experiences, concerns, and preferences regarding health care. This information helps providers understand how a condition affects daily life, what matters most to the patient, and their desired outcomes. It ensures care is respectful, personalized, and aligned with the patient’s values. Engaging families also offers support and additional insights, promoting better communication and shared decision-making. Overall, patient and family input is essential for delivering compassionate, effective healthcare that truly meets individual needs.
