Patient Centered Care

Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 500–700 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas. Incorporating the patient’s values and preferences into a plan of care is essential for increasing the likelihood of patient adherence and consequently, improving patient outcomes. Your MSN program has focused on many concepts related to improving patient outcomes but none as important as patient-centered care. Reflect on current practices in health care that are provider-centered (e.g., restricted visiting hours). Detail 3 examples of how your MSN degree will help you deliver, or help guide the delivery of, patient-centered care.
