Abstract: Langevin <superscript>1</superscript> rightly points to the reductionist mindset being the stumbling block for providing person-centered care. While considering the interconnections between the various domains underpinning health is a necessary first step towards more person-centered care, it ultimately is not sufficient. Person-centered care arises from the appreciation of the interdependencies and interactions between the various domains across its large-scale supersystems as much as its small-scale subsystems. Viewed with a complex-adaptive systems mindset health and disease are the phenotypical outcome categorisations of a person's whole-of-systems dynamics across all scales of organisation. <superscript>2,3</superscript> .<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of Conflicting Interests: The author(s) declared no potential conflicts of interest with respect to the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article.<br /> (© The Author(s) 2022.)
