Patient-Centric Data Management: Improving Patient Engagement and Data Collection

Abstract

Andreas Wurt

In the ever-evolving landscape of healthcare, patient-centricity has emerged as a crucial paradigm shift. Traditional healthcare systems often placed the primary focus on disease management and clinical outcomes, with patients playing a passive role in their own care. However, the 21st century has witnessed a transformative shift towards patient-centric care, where patients are active participants in their healthcare journey. Central to this transformation is patient-centric data management, a concept that not only empowers patients but also enhances data collection and ultimately leads to better healthcare outcomes. This comprehensive exploration delves into the realm of patientcentric data management, its significance in improving patient engagement and data collection, and it’s potential to revolutionize healthcare as we know it. We will examine the key components of patient-centric data management, its challenges and opportunities, the role of technology, and real-world examples of its successful implementation.
