Health care delivery in China is in transition from reactive and doctor-centered to preventative and patient-centered. The challenge for the reform is to account for the needs of unique individuals and local communities while ensuring efficiency and equity. This Viewpoint presents data-driven integrated care pathways as a potential solution to standardize patient-centered care delivery, highlighting five core aspects of the entire care journey for personalization by using real-time data and digital technology, and identifying three capabilities to support the uptake of data-driven design.
