Outline effective strategies for collaborating with patients and their families to achieve desired health outcomes.
◦Provide, for example, drug-specific educational interventions, cultural competence strategies.
◦Include evidence that you have to support your selected strategies.
•Identify the aspects of change management that directly affect elements of the patient experience essential to the provision of high-quality, patient-centered care.
•Explain the rationale for coordinated care plans based on ethical decision making.
◦Consider the reasonable implications and consequences of an ethical approach to care and any underlying assumptions that may influence decision making.
•Identify the potential impact of specific health care policy provisions on outcomes and patient experiences.
◦What are the logical implications and consequences of relevant policy provisions?
◦What evidence do you have to support your conclusions?
•Raise awareness of the nurse’s vital role in the coordination and continuum of care.
Sample Solution
Clinicians and health care staff work around the clock to ensure their patients’ needs are met.They often do this in a rather inefficient, and stressful environment. Nevertheless, the structure, incentives, and culture of the structure in which they work are in most cases—poorly hence sabotaging their efforts to respond to patients’ needs as their core priority. Recognizing the imperative to center on the patient, a learning health care system is one in which patients and their families are key drivers of the design and operation of the learning process. When patients, their families, other caregivers, and the public are full, active participants in care, health, the experience of care, and economic outcomes can be substantially improved.
