...Summary and Ethical Guidelines: Person-Centered Interactions Grand Canyon University: NRS-433V 8/23/15 There is an increasing focus on person-centered care in the literature and in the clinical setting. It is proposed that utilizing a person-centered approach during medication related activities has the potential to improve patient experiences and outcomes. This research summary and ethical considerations analysis is based on the article published in the International Journal of Nursing Studies by Bolster & Manias in 2010 “Person-centered interactions between nurses and patients during medication activities in an acute hospital setting: Qualitative observation and interview study.” Background of Study Despite the known benefits of using a person-centered approach to medication related activities nurses continue to routinely use a task-based approach to medication related activities. Most patients have medications administered to them by a nurse while hospitalized. This provides the nurse multiple opportunities to provide education and person-centered care. This is significant to nursing because “previous research has shown that the relationship between the nurse and the patient including how the nurse provides information is critical to enhancing medication adherence and management” (Bolster & Manias, 2010). The objective of the study was to investigate the following scenario: “How do nurses and patients interact with each other during medication...

...Results The data collection procedures for this research is by observation of 118 health care professionals preparing medication preparation of intravenous narcotic preparation. Researchers were focusing on 2 potential approaches to reducing medication error, individual error focus and systematic error focus. Observing the health care professionals with different procedural changes, process design, to see if it reduces the possibility of error is the appropriate data collection. This research did not directly involve patient identifiable health information. This study was based off of the data from the original study that used some patient protected health information. This research studied the two possible approaches that would possibly effect the reduction in medication errors. The principles of validity and reliability are essential bases of the scientific method. Validity of research must have been randomization of the sample groups and appropriate care and diligence shown in the allocation of controls (Shuttle, 2008). The research is validated since the sample group is randomized with professionals within their field such as RN’s that are licensed to prepare IV mediations along with hospital pharmacists. Also controls were allocated with diligence. For example, the group in the research were randomly selected and the controls, such as the same medications and stations, were kept the same for each participation as much as possible. The reliability of the research is...

...Comparison/Contrast Paper on the Psychoanalytical, Existential, and Person Centered Therapies BSHS 312 February 6, 2012 Paula Krasselt Comparison and Contrast of the Psychoanalytical, Existential, and Person Centered Therapies Throughout the centuries, different methods and techniques have been developed to help enhance the quality of therapy for people who suffer from different types of behaviors. Many theories about how and what therapy is and most effective techniques have also been sought out and applied. These include psychoanalytical, existential, and person-centered therapies. All have different techniques with yet the same goal is to find a cure and treat the individual’s issue. Through the years clinicians have found one to be more effective than another, and some of the therapies have been modified or enhanced to better treat a client. Psychoanalytical therapy allows patients to cope and understand experiences, whether traumatic or sad. It allows for their experiences to be coped with and to treat the effect of current behavior and feelings due to the experience that the patient has endured. Psychoanalytical therapy looks in-depth at the conscious and unconscious feelings of the patient. Existential therapy is more of a philosophical method of treatment. It allows for the patient to face and accept the inevitable. These patients can be experiencing a difficult way of accepting death or difficult life events. Existential therapy has been studied and evaluated...

...Concept Analysis of Patient Centered Care Monet J. Scott Chamberlain College of Nursing NR: 501 Theoretical Basis Advance Nursing May 2015 Concept Analysis of Patient Centered Care A concept analysis seeks to outline, distinguish, and enhance the clarity of the nursing profession as well as stimulate future research endeavors. Within the development of a concept analysis, notions and thoughts are outlined and examined through the fundamental features of that particular concept. According to Walker & Avant (2011), the seven steps to accomplishing a concept analysis includes the selection of a concept, determining the purpose of analysis, identifying all uses of the concept, defining attributes, identifying a model case of the concept, identifying antecedents and consequences, and identifying empirical references. Patient centered care is an imperative task performed by not only nurses, but the absolute interdisciplinary staff involved. It is essential to the establishment of quality care with the ultimate goal of positive patient outcomes. Several responsibilities of the nurse for patient centered care may include pain relief, listening, advocating for the patient, disease prevention, health promotion, respect for patient values and preferences, and maintaining patient dignity and identity (Lusk & Fater, 2013).

...Interprofessional Team Development: A Patient and Family Centered Care Western Governor’s University: C158 May 11th, 2016 Interprofessional Team Development: A Patient and Family Centered Care Approach Approach to patient care has changed over the last three decades from patient treatment-focused model to include comforting, engaging, and empowering patients. The new approach implements patient-centered care environments. It has been adopted by care providers, research bodies, funding agencies, and regulatory agencies, among others. To enhance patient-centered care, business practices, regulatory requirements, and reimbursement regulatory procedures have been adopted. This is evident by the regulations of Joint Commission and the provision of services by Medicare Medicaid services (CMS). In this paper, the impact of business practices, regulatory requirements, and reimbursement procedures on patient-centered care is discussed. A multidisciplinary approach on a process improvement enhancing Patient and Family Centered Focus Care is outlined in a hospital located in Arizona.

...Providing patients with compassionate, patient-centered care, and a healing environment, should be the hallmark of service in all healthcare settings. All these components are attainable with the implementation of the right programs. Programs by themselves cannot produce the desired outcome and the success of any plan requires the input of workers at all levels of the organization. Shaller, D., (2007), supported this idea that the single most important factor contributing to patient-centered care, in any healthcare setting, is the commitment and engagement of senior leadership. It is his expert opinion that to sustained delivery of patient-centered care is only possible with the participation and support of top leadership. Sakallaris, B.,...

...Risk and Quality Management Executive Summary Yakima Valley Memorial Hospital (YVMH) opened their door to patients on June 20, 1950 with 146 beds, 155 employees and over 200 auxiliary members. Today, Yakima Valley Memorial Hospital is a 225-bed acute care inpatient facility with a host of outpatient ancillary services and specialty clinics with over 2300 employees. The problem: The current risk management plan at Yakima Valley Memorial Hospital is that it is out dated and specific to the hospital only, it does not include the entire family of services. Second, the plan only addresses risk as “injury” to patients, staff, physicians, visitors, vendors, volunteers and students; it does not address risk to operations and property. The purpose of the current risk management plan for Yakima Valley Memorial Hospital is to identify the way in which the risk management activities as they pertain to “injuries” addressed within the hospital (Yakima Valley Memorial Hospital Risk Management Plan) rather than taking an organization or enterprise wide approach. Health care risk management programs are essential for the protection of the health care organization against the risks associated with accidental losses regardless of the cause (Carroll, 2009). A comprehensive risk management program should outline processes and procedures to cover patient centered, medical staff, employee, property and financial related risks and more. A risk management program is a structured organizational...
