Book Review: “Patient-Centered Strategy” by Jeff Hunter

"Patient Centered Strategy" by Jeff Hunter provides a comprehensive guide for healthcare leaders looking to transform their organizations by focusing on patient-centered care. The book argues that by putting patients at the center of strategic decision-making, healthcare organizations can achieve better clinical outcomes, higher levels of patient satisfaction, and greater operational efficiency. It’s a strategic approach that balances patient needs with the overarching goals of healthcare providers, aligning the two for mutual benefit.

Hunter offers a roadmap for implementing this strategy, focusing on key areas such as leadership, organizational culture, operational excellence, and the adoption of value-based care models. He emphasizes that the transition to a patient-centered strategy is not just a superficial change in policy but a fundamental shift in how healthcare organizations operate.
