Videos – Experts explain patient-centred care & why it's crucial people are not only included in their own health care decisions, but put at the centre of their healthcare treatment. A webinar explores the rationale for involving patients in their own safety, as well as possible barriers to this concept.
What patient centred care really means
At the International Forum on Quality and Safety in Health Care in Berlin, Don Berwick talks powerfully about what patient-centred care means. He describes how it is lost when people are treated as if they're all the same rather than as individuals, becoming less involved in decisions about their own care.

Involving patients in their own safety
"This webinar explores: the rationale for involving patients in their own safety, how patients and clinicians conceptualise safety, and facilitators and barriers to patient involvement in safety."

Eric Dishman: Health care should be a team sport
"When Eric Dishman was in college, doctors told him he had 2 to 3 years to live. That was a long time ago. One rectified diagnosis and a transplant later, Dishman puts his personal experience and his expertise as a leading medical tech specialist together to suggest some bold ideas for reinventing healthcare -- by putting the patient at the center of a treatment team."
