Patient-centered outcomes research focuses on understanding and improving the outcomes that are most important to patients in healthcare decisions and interventions. This type of research takes into account the patients' perspectives, values, and goals, rather than solely focusing on clinical outcomes. Patient-centered outcomes research aims to enhance patient engagement in healthcare decision-making, improve patient satisfaction and quality of life, and ultimately, optimize treatment outcomes. This research approach involves engaging patients directly in research design, implementation, and dissemination, to ensure that their needs and priorities are at the forefront of healthcare decision-making.
