patient-centered outcomes

Patient-centered outcomes focus on results that matter most to patients, such as how they feel, function, and their quality of life after treatment or care. This approach considers a patient’s preferences, needs, and values, aiming to improve aspects like pain relief, mobility, emotional well-being, and everyday activities. Instead of only measuring clinical tests or procedures, patient-centered outcomes prioritize what makes a meaningful difference in a person's life, ensuring healthcare decisions align with what patients consider important for their health and happiness.
