The problem:

"Fiat medicine" is the practice of prescribing or administering medical treatments or interventions solely based on the authority or decision of a healthcare professional, without considering the patient's preferences or involvement in the decision-making process. It is authoritative, not patient centered.

“Fiat medicine" disregards the principle of patient-centered care, which emphasizes the importance of shared decision-making and respecting the patient's autonomy and ability to choose

The solution : In contrast, patient-centered care involves a collaborative approach between healthcare providers and patients, where the patient's values, preferences, and goals are taken into account when making medical decisions. It recognizes the importance of informed consent, open communication, and shared decision-making to ensure that patients are actively involved in their own healthcare decisions.
