over the past few decades. We have moved from paternalism, where the doctor was the only one with the absolute science, to a patient-centered approach to care.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That concept was not ideal as it left the patient with several concerns. The patient&#8217;s care should have been more personalized.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adding the patient-experience approach<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to the team of caregivers enables the patient to fully understand what is happening. He can then interact with the medical team and actively participate in his treatment plan.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All too often, the reality of the patient&#8217;s life is overlooked. Who can best answer questions about his day-to-day way of life? Or, who can fully imagine the confusion<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and anxiety that a person went through before arriving at the discomfort he feels today?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The patient-partner approach is this new concept of care in which the patient is as much a part of the team as any other healthcare provider, including a peer who previously benefitted from this innovative patient-partner initiative.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
