People-centred definition

People-centred or ‘patient-centred’ means involving people and being receptive and responsive to their needs and values. It includes both individuals and population groups receiving services. People- and family-centred health care is arguably the most important of the dimensions of quality, because it is likely that a health care system that is people-centred will also perform well against the other dimensions (Robb and Seddon 2006).
