Abstract
Patient-centered communication is a fundamental aspect of modern healthcare that prioritizes understanding and addressing the unique needs, preferences, and values of each patient. This approach fosters a collaborative relationship between healthcare providers and patients, leading to improved patient satisfaction, better health outcomes, and enhanced overall care quality. This article examines the best practices for patient-centered communication, such as active listening, empathy, clear and simple language, shared decision-making, and cultural competence, among others. Additionally, it highlights the numerous benefits, including increased patient satisfaction, better health outcomes, enhanced patient safety, reduced healthcare costs, and increased provider satisfaction. By adopting patient-centered communication, healthcare providers can deliver compassionate, efficient, and effective care that contributes to the overall well-being of their patients.
