Patient-centered outcomes research

Patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR) focuses on understanding the preferences, needs, and values of patients in healthcare. It aims to gather information from patients about their experiences with treatments, conditions, and health care systems to help improve decision-making. By prioritizing what matters most to patients, such as quality of life and side effects, PCOR seeks to inform health policies and practices for better health outcomes. Ultimately, it empowers patients, ensuring their voices guide healthcare practices, leading to improved treatments and overall satisfaction with care.
