Abstract

The healthcare system has undergone a transformational shift toward people-centred care (PCC), and healthcare leaders are accountable for enabling this culture change. This paper describes the University Health Network's journey of using a person-centred approach for cultural transformation, reflecting on (a) the leadership elements required to build and sustain a culture of PCC; (b) the importance of establishing a Patient Declaration of Values, which is a framework for patient care; and (c) how this culture led our approach during the COVID-19 pandemic.
