Optimizing Patient Recovery Across Healthcare Settings: A Comprehensive Review Of Clinical, Organizational, And Multidisciplinary Recovery-Oriented Strategies

Abstract

Patient recovery has increasingly emerged as a core indicator of healthcare quality, extending beyond short-term clinical stabilization to encompass functional restoration, psychological well-being, and long-term quality of life. Contemporary healthcare systems face growing challenges related to patient complexity, fragmented care delivery, and rising expectations for value-based and patient-centered outcomes. This comprehensive review synthesizes current evidence on recovery-oriented strategies that operate across clinical, organizational, and multidisciplinary domains to optimize patient recovery in diverse healthcare settings. Drawing on recent literature, the review examines evidence-based clinical interventions, coordinated care pathways, organizational enablers, and collaborative team-based practices that collectively influence recovery trajectories. In addition, the role of digital health tools and system-level integration in supporting continuity of care and monitoring recovery progress is explored. The findings highlight that patient recovery is a multidimensional, system-driven outcome shaped by the interaction of effective clinical care, supportive organizational structures, and cohesive multidisciplinary collaboration. The review emphasizes the need for integrated recovery-oriented care models that align clinical excellence with organizational efficiency and patient engagement. Such models have the potential to enhance recovery outcomes, improve patient experience, and support sustainable healthcare system performance.
