Thus, objective lab values and physician intuition are given more importance than the subjective feeling of well-being that the patient is experiencing following the introduction of the intervention. This review presents a concept of integrating patient-centered and patient-reported data with the existing disease-centered and doctor-reported data for making healthcare-related decisions. This concept, termed patient-centered outcomes research, has already become popular in the Western World.
