What Matters to you” is a simple, yet profound concept that is key to creating understanding and engagement between healthcare professionals (HCP), patients and their family members. It fosters a deeper understanding of what matters to both parties, and is the foundation of developing genuine partnerships for co-creating better healthcare.

In this session, we will explore several facets of this important topic to patients and health care providers in different settings:

· What matters to you in healthcare – patient perspective and findings from a Singaporean and Malaysian Survey

· What matters to you in healthcare – case studies including doctors statements, and findings from a survey in Malaysia

· What matters in a good patient relationship – perspectives from both patients and staff

· Examples of self-dialyses, peer support and a special house for cancer patients, international cooperation and how they supported an ISO standard for patient and person centeredness.

After this session, you will be able to:

· Be aware of the ‘What matters to you” concept and movement.

· Have an understanding of what matters to patients and staff in healthcare

· Have an understanding of what matters to patient and staff in good relationships.

· Aware of the key elements, barriers and to explore way forward
