MHC-05 - Designing Patient-Centered Systems for Integrated Medical and Whole-Person Care

Wednesday, September 9, 2026
11:10 AM - 12:00 PM PDT
This session will compare poorly designed versus exceptional patient-centered systems for integrated medical and whole-person care. Using real-world patient care scenarios, the session will illustrate what high-quality healthcare looks like and provide tangible takeaways for the attendee to utilize or explore upon returning to their home practice.   

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe core principles of patient-centered care and whole-person care within integrated medical systems.
  • Identify key structural components required to design patient-centered systems, including care coordination workflows, shared decision-making frameworks, and interprofessional communication strategies.
  • Differentiate between traditional multidisciplinary models and fully integrated, collaborative care models that incorporate medical and complementary approaches.
