The main source of success for a customer-centric organization is the ability to identify its customers, identify their needs, and use that information to develop a customer-centric strategy. In this regard, there is a widespread change in attitudes toward the construction of management in organizations. Whereas previously the competitiveness of an organization could be measured by its financial performance, now the intellectual potential of an organization is at the forefront. As the role of the patient in the health care system has intensified, the importance of patient participation has received increasing attention and has become central to health care research. In this regard, in today’s environment, the foundation of success in the treatment and delivery of professional care in medicine is primarily the degree of patient satisfaction. Patient-centered care acts as a new paradigm for the development of the health care system, which is characterized by a shift in the center of gravity to the patient. In this regard, in the field of health care, the relationship between the patient and the doctor, as perceived by the patient, is one of the main elements of the methodology of scientific research. The purpose of this article is to review and analyze the results of the PDRQ–9, which assesses the patient-physician relationship. The PDRQ–9 provides researchers with a brief assessment of the therapeutic aspects of the patient-physician relationship in the primary care setting. It is a valuable tool for research and practice purposes that includes monitoring the patient-doctor relationship.

The Cost

In an effort to rein in spending and improve patient outcomes, the US government and the private sector have adopted a number of policies over the last decade that hold health care professionals increasingly accountable for the cost and quality of the care they provide. A major driver of these efforts is the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (ACA or Pub.L. 111–148), which aims to change the US health care system from one that rewards quantity to one that rewards better value through the use of performance measurement. However, for this strategy to succeed in raising the bar on quality and efficiency, it will require the development of more standardized and accurate methods of data collection and further streamlined federal regulations that encourage enhanced patient-centered care instead of creating additional burdens that interfere with the physician-patient relationship.

Training physicians to become person-centered is a primary goal of behavioral health curriculum. We have curriculum on doctor–patient communication skills and patient narratives to help physicians relate to the patient’s experiences. However, there is nothing more effective than actually being the patient that gives providers an “aha” experience of the patient’s perspective. In this article, we will share personal resident physician-patient stories based on their experiences within acute urgent care, chronic disease management, and routine well health care. In each narrative, the physician-patient will describe how their experiences had an impact in three areas: (1) their professional identity, (2) their connection with patients, and (3) their experience of the health-care system and teams. Drawing from the key emotional and cognitive experiences from these stories, we will identify training strategies that can bridge the personal to professional experiences as a way to enhance person-centered care. Our goal is to use the physician’s insider perspective on the patient experience as a means to augment the awareness of professional physician role, team-based care, and navigating the health-care system.

The private sector which has emerged in the Russian health care system has become a competitor to the public one and has pulled a part of effective demand of the middle class. It has developed out of the public health care financing system. Depending on the policy of the state towards modernization of health care, the private sector can continue to grow as an alternative to the public one, but it can be a tool of modernization and an organic part of an integrated health care system.

AbstractIn an age of increasing political polarization, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) stands out as one of the most politically divisive pieces of legislation in recent history. Unlike previous laws making changes to the US health care system, public views of the ACA did not improve measurably as people gained experience with the program, but remained deeply divided on a partisan basis in the more than eight years since its passage. In this article, we examine how the complexity of the law, lack of understanding by the public, and elite partisan messaging have contributed to this enduring partisan divide, and discuss what the future may hold for the measurement of public opinion on major health care legislation.

Background Evidence suggests that health care data sharing may strengthen care coordination, improve quality and safety, and reduce costs. However, to achieve efficient and meaningful adoption of health care data-sharing initiatives, it is necessary to engage all stakeholders, from health care professionals to patients. Although previous work has assessed health care professionals’ perceptions of data sharing, perspectives of the general public and particularly of seldom heard groups have yet to be fully assessed. Objective This study aims to explore the views of the public, particularly their hopes and concerns, around health care data sharing. Methods An original, immersive public engagement interactive experience was developed—The Can of Worms installation—in which participants were prompted to reflect about data sharing through listening to individual stories around health care data sharing. A multidisciplinary team with expertise in research, public involvement, and human-centered design developed this concept. The installation took place in three separate events between November 2018 and November 2019. A combination of convenience and snowball sampling was used in this study. Participants were asked to fill self-administered feedback cards and to describe their hopes and fears about the meaningful use of data in health care. The transcripts were compiled verbatim and systematically reviewed by four independent reviewers using the thematic analysis method to identify emerging themes. Results Our approach exemplifies the potential of using interdisciplinary expertise in research, public involvement, and human-centered design to tell stories, collect perspectives, and spark conversations around complex topics in participatory digital medicine. A total of 352 qualitative feedback cards were collected, each reflecting participants’ hopes and fears for health care data sharing. Thematic analyses identified six themes under hopes: enablement of personal access and ownership, increased interoperability and collaboration, generation of evidence for better and safer care, improved timeliness and efficiency, delivery of more personalized care, and equality. The five main fears identified included inadequate security and exploitation, data inaccuracy, distrust, discrimination and inequality, and less patient-centered care. Conclusions This study sheds new light on the main hopes and fears of the public regarding health care data sharing. Importantly, our results highlight novel concerns from the public, particularly in terms of the impact on health disparities, both at international and local levels, and on delivering patient-centered care. Incorporating the knowledge generated and focusing on co-designing solutions to tackle these concerns is critical to engage the public as active contributors and to fully leverage the potential of health care data use.

Background: Provision of patient-centered services is one of the values of any health care system. Patient-centered means giving importance to the patient's rights and entitlements in all areas related to treatment and involving the patient in decisions throughout the process of rendering services to the patient. The purpose of this study was to translate and validate the Stewart Patient-Centered Questionnaire and to provide an appropriate and valid tool to assess the patient-centered rate in the provision of medical services. Methods: The present descriptive methodological study was conducted in 2020. Initially, Stewart patient-centered questionnaire was translated using the forward-backward method. Later, the translated version was examined by the research team to establish cultural compatibility with Iranian culture. The validity of its content was assessed by obtaining the opinions of 15 health management specialists and its face validity was assessed by 15 patients. The internal reliability of the questionnaire was assessed using the opinions of 30 patients and Cronbach's alpha coefficient was calculated using SPSS 22 software. The construct validity was assessed according to the opinions of 283 patients in the study population through STATA 15 software. Results: Based on the content validity results, all items of the main questionnaire had acceptable CVR and the CVI index was 0.87 for this questionnaire. The face validity also confirmed all the statements. Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the whole questionnaire was calculated as 0.976 and thus the internal reliability of the questionnaire was confirmed. Based on the results of the confirmatory invoice analysis GFI (0.988), RMR (0.048), and CFI (0.984), the translated questionnaire had suitable construct validity and all questions were retained. Conclusion: The questionnaire can be applied as a valid and applicable tool for assessing patient-centered care in the Iranian health care system.
