Patient-centered care is more collaborative than physician-centered care. In patient-centered care, the emphasis is on engaging patients in their own care, considering their preferences, values, and needs, which fosters a collaborative relationship between patients and healthcare providers. In contrast, physician-centered care tends to focus more on the physician's authority and expertise, leading to less emphasis on collaboration with the patient.
