Patient-centered Care

Patient-centered care is a fundamental approach in healthcare that prioritizes the individual needs, preferences, and values of patients in all aspects of their care. Coursera's Patient-centered Care catalogue teaches you how to deliver compassionate and personalized healthcare that goes beyond treating illnesses to considering the whole person. You'll learn to adapt communication styles, involve patients in decision-making, respect cultural diversity, and incorporate patients' unique experiences into care plans. This skill empowers healthcare professionals to build stronger patient relationships, improve health outcomes, and enhance overall patient satisfaction by placing the patient at the center of the care process.
