patientenbezogenen

Patientenbezogenen describes a focus in healthcare on the patient as the center of care, emphasizing the needs, values and preferences of the individual rather than a solely disease-centric approach. The term is used to characterize approaches, processes and outcomes that prioritize the patient’s perspective throughout planning, treatment and follow-up.

In practice, patientenbezogene care is built on core principles such as shared decision-making, clear and respectful communication, and respect for patient autonomy. It includes providing understandable health information, involving patients in goal setting, and tailoring care plans to personal circumstances, including social and cultural factors. The concept also encompasses continuity of care, accessibility, and the involvement of patients in service design and quality improvement.

In research and policy, the term appears in contexts like patientenbezogene outcomes and patientenbezogene experiences. Tools such as patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) are used to capture the patient’s view on health status, treatment impact and care quality. These measures support evaluation from the patient’s perspective and inform decisions at individual and system levels.

Benefits of adopting patientenbezogenen approaches include improved patient satisfaction, better adherence to treatment, and potentially enhanced health outcomes. Challenges include time constraints in consultations, resource demands, varying health literacy, language and cultural differences, and concerns about data privacy and integration of patient input into clinical workflows.

Implementation typically involves training clinicians in communication and shared decision-making, integrating patient preferences into electronic health records, and engaging patients and families in service development. Related terms include patientenzentrierte Versorgung and patientenorientierte Ansätze, all aiming to place the patient at the forefront of care.
