Summary
The notion that health professionals should try to understand illness and its treatments from the patients’ perspective instead of solely relying on scientific knowledge first emerged in the nursing profession during the 1960s. It was only in the new millennium that this perspective came into use within infertility and assisted reproductive technology (ART), when the argument was made that patient centeredness was as important in defining high-quality ART as other treatment dimensions, such as effectiveness, efficiency, or safety.
