Delivering Client Centered Care

Shared decision-making (SDM) is a vital component of contemporary healthcare, transforming the landscape of patient-centered care across the lifespan. A significant body of evidence, such as the peer-reviewed article titled “Shared decision-making in primary care: A systematic review and meta-analysis of its effects on patient outcomes” by Stacey J. Pereira et al. published in the Annals of Family Medicine in 2021, underscores the merits of SDM in promoting health and delivering client-centered care.

SDM epitomizes a collaborative process where patients and healthcare providers harmoniously engage in making healthcare decisions. This process revolves around the amalgamation of the best available clinical evidence with the unique values and preferences of the patient. The systematic review and meta-analysis examined 57 randomized controlled trials (RCTs), offering compelling insights into the affirmative influence of SDM on various patient outcomes. These encompassed heightened patient satisfaction, an improved quality of life, reduced decisional regret, greater adherence to treatment regimens, and superior clinical outcomes such as enhanced blood pressure control, glucose management, and cholesterol levels.

There are two overarching reasons that substantiate SDM as an essential and exemplary healthcare practice. Firstly, SDM is rooted in the principle of respecting the autonomy and right to self-determination of patients. It elevates the patient to an active, informed decision-maker in their care, ensuring that their voice is both heard and honored in the decision-making process. Secondly, SDM consistently demonstrates its prowess in enhancing patient outcomes. This patient-centered approach fosters an environment where patients feel valued and involved, leading to increased satisfaction, a better quality of life, and a notable reduction in decisional regret. Moreover, it fortifies patient adherence to treatment plans and significantly betters clinical outcomes.

In the realm of healthcare, SDM transcends being a mere process; it becomes a conduit for the realization of optimal care and health promotion. It effectively personalizes care delivery, ensuring that interventions align with each patient's unique needs, values, and preferences. Importantly, SDM nurtures trust and rapport between patients and healthcare providers, serving as the bedrock of effective communication. When patients feel heard and respected, it paves the way for open and honest dialogues, which, in turn, bolster healthcare decisions and ultimately lead to improved health outcomes. Additionally, SDM is instrumental in empowering patients to be active participants in their health journeys. It fosters a sense of ownership and responsibility for their well-being, thus propelling health promotion efforts to new heights.

In conclusion, the evidence gleaned from the systematic review and meta-analysis by Stacey J. Pereira et al. underscores the pivotal role of SDM in modern healthcare. By respecting patient autonomy and consistently yielding positive patient outcomes, SDM epitomizes a best practice that is integral to the delivery of client-centered care and the promotion of health across the life span. Its capacity to personalize care, foster trust, and empower patients underscores its status as a cornerstone of contemporary healthcare delivery.

In healthcare allowing the patient to have the autonomy over their own healthcare decisions is an important part in delivering client center care and promoting health. It is important that all parties of the healthcare team work together to achieve the desired needs of the patient. An important “best practice technique” to perform to achieve this is to provide patient centered communication. This means that the patients care is centered around the clients values, health concerns, and beliefs. It is also important for the patient to have an effective trustworthy relationship with nurse or provider on their team so they can effectively establish any possible personal or behavioral related barriers that may interfere with the care of the client. 

Patient centered care reflects strictly on the specific needs of the individual patient and the best effective ways to provide them. Providing healthcare services that reflect and respect the needs of the patient results in positive outcomes for the clients health outside of the facility. Patient centered care requires the healthcare team to show respect towards the client, their needs, preferences, and values. When all parties are on the same page it makes an easier recovery process for the client and a smoother visit for the healthcare professionals.

EXPLORING EBP QUALITY IMPROVEMENT

health care statistics. IP4

 

Statistics play an important role in the management of health care organizations and in decision making and strategic planning. Collecting, analyzing, and utilizing data appropriately impacts financial management of the organization and the quality of patient care delivered. Decisions in clinical medicine are driven by evidence-based practice, as are those in health care management. A health care manager must understand and use evidence in making informed decisions that improve the operations and financial status of the organization as well as deliver quality of care accessible to those who need it and with consideration of the costs involved.

In this assignment, you will choose a utilization review statistic from the following list and review a research  or government publication, as outlined below.

Choose a health care statistic that health care managers would use, such as one of the following:

  • Hospital-acquired condition (HAC)
  • Emergency department visits
  • Labor and delivery suite usage
  • Ambulatory surgery procedures
  • Hospital death rates
  • Cesarean-section rate
  • Wait time
  • Adverse drug events

Research your chosen statistic, and provide information from an outside source—such as a journal article, accreditation agency report, government site, and so forth—that discusses the health care statistic in a real-life setting or situation.

 in APA format that discusses the following:

  • What was the reason for the research that was performed or for the data being collected?
  • What was the source of the data presented?
  • What types of descriptive statistics and graphical representations of data were used?
  • What were the research question(s) and the significant findings of the article?
  • How could the information presented be used to inform decisions or improvements?

Cite references using APA format, and remember to include a citation for the article that you are describing.

Preeclampsia

Each student will individually write a paper over a relevant maternal-infant nursing topic that is addressed by a Healthy People 2030 objective. Healthy People 2030 objectives are available at 

https://health.gov/healthypeople/objectives-and-data/browse-objectives
 .The concept chosen must be appropriate and relevant to maternal-infant nursing. The purpose of this assignment is three-fold:  to thoroughly research a topic of interest relating to maternal-infant nursing; to synthesize the information found; and to then draw inferences about the concept. 

This paper is expected to be short, succinct, focused, and developed on the chosen topic. The student can adequately address the criteria in 
3-5 pages, excluding the title and reference pages. All papers must be typed and in APA 7 format.  I encourage you to meet with Megan Hasler, the School of Nursing's librarian if needed for APA guidance or search questions, etc. 

Students are strongly encouraged to send papers to the Writing Center prior to submission.
  References must include a minimum of three (3) journal articles, and you may also include an appropriate medical/nursing dictionary or encyclopedia, the course textbook, the state department of health website for vital statistics, the CDC, etc. See evaluation criteria below for specific guidelines, and PDF attachment for a template.  
Due by Sunday, November 5, at 23:59pm. In the box below you will find examples of topics that have an associated Healthy People 2030 objective. Topic must be approved.

Each student will be assigned a number randomly.  Whatever your number is, select the corresponding topic below, then post a minimum of 5 bullet points about the topic.  

Your bullet points should address key components of the topic, such as what, how, who, & why.  This information should not be basic things you learned in Med/Surg, but rather advanced critical care based.  

Think about this as a group effort to create a study guide. Use ONLY your textbook, but do not cut & paste from the book.  

Then create, find, or borrow a test style question about your topic & post at the bottom of your bullet points. The format needs to be multiple choice or select all that apply. Think NCLEX style.
