Boutique Healthcare Real Estate Company, Simone Development, Discusses 3 Benefits of a Patient-Centered Healthcare Approach

BRONX, N.Y., April 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Patient and family-centric care allows for collaboration in healing, therapy, and decision-making between patients, their loved ones, and healthcare providers. To help providers better understand the patient-centric model, medical real estate developers, Simone Development, discuss 3 benefits of a patient-centered healthcare approach.

What is patient-centered healthcare?
In patient-centric or patient-centered healthcare, providers offer care that is tailored to the specific needs of the individual and is respectful and responsive to patient preferences, concerns, and comfort. The patient's values are to guide all clinical and healthcare decisions. Patient-centric healthcare works to treat the sum total of the patient in a holistic fashion, focusing on collaborative healing and shared decision making.

What are some benefits of patient-centered healthcare?

• Increased Convenience. Where the traditional healthcare system is geared toward offering convenience to clinicians via complicated paperwork that is written in medical jargon as well as patients being moved to accommodate the various procedures and specialists they will need to see, the patient-centered approach puts the needs of the patient first and foremost. These inconveniences may seem minimal, but in a time of medical unease, they can be serious factors in making or breaking patient satisfaction. By putting the patient at the center of the facility's physical and administrative structure, minimizing wait times, improving efficiency, and allowing for more flexible payments, the patient will be more comfortable, therefore increasing the odds that they will return next time they need a medical procedure, and making them more likely to share their positive experience with friends and loved ones.
  
• Increased Traffic. Word of mouth and referrals are a business's best friend, especially in the healthcare industry. Many patients are becoming more informed about the patient-centric approach and are specifically seeking out facilities which follow a patient-centered model. These patients expect a higher quality of service and are willing to go to a facility they've never been to before in order to get it, which gives patient-centered facilities an edge over their competition.
  
• Familiarity and Comfort. When healthcare is patient-centric, the individuals receiving this care are happier and they have increased satisfaction, improved outcomes, and are generally in less pain and are more comfortable. However, it is not just patients who feel this increased sense of comfort and familiarity. Employees of patient-centered healthcare facilities tend to be more satisfied, feel more supported, and perform with more efficiency.

The future of healthcare is patient-centered and because of that, facilities need to take this patient-centric model into consideration when developing new healthcare properties.
