AB Patient-centered  behavior  includes  a  number  of  constructs,  but  the  most  important  one  is  that  the  patient  comes  first.What  the  patient  wants  and  needs  is  what  drives  the  patient  encounter.Little  can  be  accomplished  until  the  practitioner  understands  the  patient's  concept  of  his  illness  and  his  medication  experience,  in  the  patient's  words,  so  listen  closely.The  therapeutic  relationship  is  a  partnership  or  alliance  between  the  practitioner  and  the  patient  for  the  very  specific  purpose  of  optimizing  the  patient's  medication  experience.The  quality  of  the  care  provided  will  depend  on  the  quality  of  the  therapeutic  relationship  developed  because  the  relationship  will  impact  the  information  shared,  the  decisions  made,  and  what  you  can  learn  from  the  patient.The  patient  has  both  rights  and  responsibilities;  practitioners  must  attend  to  both.Adherence  to  a  medication  regimen  is  a  test  of  the  practitioner's  ability  to  practice  in  a  patient-centered  manner.Medication  management  services,  when  provided  in  a  patient-  centered  manner,  can  achieve  adherence  rates  of  over  80%,  consistently,  because  of  the  active  participation  of  the  patient.Patient-centered  adherence  can  be  achieved  when  the  practitioner  takes  into  account  the  patient's  individual  needs,  his  rights,  his  responsibilities,  and  the  practitioner's  obligation  to  make  decisions  in  a  consistent,  systematic,  and  comprehensive  manner  for  each  individual  patient.
