Principles of patient-focused care.
The kind of improvement our health care system requires cannot be obtained by isolating a redesign initiative to any one of the patient-focused care principles. We need a more comprehensive effort that understands the complex interrelationships between the principles. This type of integrated strategy can reap enormous benefits, and it holds the key to addressing complex and profound deficiencies in the traditional operational and organizational structures of our health care institutions.
