6. Patient-Centered Care
Care that is truly patient-centered considers patients’ cultural
traditions, th i personal preferences and values, th i family
t diti their l f d l their f il
situations, and their lifestyles.
It makes the patient and their loved ones an integral part of the
care team who collaborate with health care professionals in
making clinical decisions.
Patient-centered care puts responsibility for important aspects of
self-care and monitoring in patients’ hands — along with the tools
and support they need to carry out that responsibility.
When care is patient centered, unneeded and unwanted services
can be reduced.

8. The case for investing in patient education
The healthcare industry now spends an unnecessary $73 billion per year in
hospital stays and doctors visits simply because patients don t understand what
don’t
their doctor is explaining or how to properly take prescribed medication.1
Patients remember approximately 10 percent of what they read, 25 percent of
what they hear 45 percent of what they see 65 percent of what they hear and
hear, see,
see, 70 percent of what they say and write, and 90 percent of what they say as
they perform a task.2
Of those online, 86% are concerned about the reliability of the information they
find at 25,000+ health-related websites, and 75% cite their doctor’s direction as
the most important source for guidance to quality health content.3
“Krames provides patients with clear, easy-to-understand information. The
graphics are excellent. They pinpoint all the need-to-know aspects of a
patient’s disease state. Thank you, Krames, for making education easier.” 4
