How service modularity can provide the flexibility to support person-centered care and shared decision-making

Abstract Background Today’s healthcare provision is facing several challenges, that cause the level of complexity to increase at a greater rate than the managerial capacity to effectively deal with it. One of these challenges is the demand for person-centered care in an approach that is tuned toward...
