Hecs1100 An understanding of how key elements, communication and inequalities in health, deliver person-centered care within the field of radiography Person centered care (PCC) is an approach that was developed by Dr Carl Roger (1960). Healthcare systems around the world have been transformed in order to develop services that are focused on offering more patient centered care. However Robinson et al (2008) identified that PPC is difficult to implement in healthcare, due to its lack of clear definition. The health foundation defines PCC by recognising “patients as equal partners in planning, developing and assessing care to make sure it is most appropriate for their needs” (Health Foundation, 2014). It requires placing service users at the heart of everything (National Voices, 2014) and allowing individuals to be seen with different values, preferences, interests and abilities. Recognising this assists care workers to relate to the service users situation (Jones, 2005). Radiographers are important members of the healthcare team; they are responsible for taking high quality images whilst their main concern is the care of their patients. Asking patients during a radiographic examination if he or she would like a blanket over their knees is an example of being person-centred; it shows compassion, thinking about things from the person’s point of view and being respectful. It also enables patients to be involved in their care by decision making, as a result promotes
This presentation is going to talk about person- centred care, confidentiality, respecting privacy and dignity and protecting from risks and harm. The common core principles are important to every Health and Social Care setting as they provide a basis for a general understanding of promoting good mental health and recognising signs of poor mental health among everyone receiving care and support. The aim of care home are to meet the identified needs of individuals who live in that home. An older person might need to live in that care home for years. It is important for staff to be aware of responsibilities in delivering care to support the individuals who live at that home. These common principles of health will help develop the workforce that respond confidently to the individuals and supporting the life they are leading.
I asked how often she had to deliver bad news to the patients and she said that the radiologists usually delivers the bad news and that there is no lack of support from the nurses or doctors. Ms. Rhea said “we handle difficult situations as delicately as possible with care.”
Some health care professional who are not committed to the care value base may treat service users unfairly. For example, a care worker that is not demonstrating the role of empathy may not want to listen or respect the ideals of the service users because the care worker is not in their position and do not see things from service users point of view. It is important for health care professionals to be committed and being honest with themselves in order to make sure that they are providing equal care to their service users. Careful use of language
It is important to identify individual’s specific and unique needs so that they can receive the best care possible. Taking a person centred approach is vital, treating a service user as an individual person and acknowledge that
The Chapelhow et al. (2005) effectively portrays a framework that provides patients with an approach to person centered care. It provides health professionals with important aspects that allow them to perform in an effective way that has the best interests of the patients at heart. The characteristics it outlines are assessment, communication, risk management, record keeping and documentation, professional decision making and managing uncertainty.
The first couple weeks of school are always the most stressful. They get you thinking about how the semester is going to be and different ways to get you motivated. However, the beginning of this semester is probably one of the most stressful semesters that I have encountered because being a part of the radiography program is a very big achievement. It is a program where I know I will have to be ahead of the game the whole two years, which keeps me on my feet. Throughout this paper I am going to discuss the reasons why I wanted to enter into the program, and the things that I have learned so far along with my short-term and long-term goals.
Patient-centred care also referred to as person-centred care. Relates to treating an individual receiving healthcare with dignity and respect also including the patient in all decisions about their health outcome. The principles for patient centred care for all health professionals involves respect for patient’s preferences and values, emotional and physical support, education, continuity, coordination of care, and involvement of family and friends. Many health professionals including general partitioners, pharmacists and resisted nurses, focus on embedding patient-centred communication principles in health practice, which is important as there is a lot of uncertainty with patients. The type of communication approach conveys the effectiveness of
Person-centred care is the “Mutually beneficial partnerships between patients, their families, and those delivering healthcare services which respect individual needs and values which demon-strate compassion, continuity, clear communication, and shared decision making” (The Scottish government 2010).
Person-centred care was first introduced by a physiologist named Carl Rogers, in the 1960s. He believed every patient should be treated with respect and dignity. According to his approach he uses his core principles to identify individual needs. These principles have benefits for the patient, health care worker and health service. Some of the key principles of Person-centred care (PCC) is showing respect and dignity, cultural competency, knowing the patient, mutually beneficial partnerships, Information sharing, self-management, communication and interaction, continuity, and choice and empowerment.
The NMC code states that the guidelines were not only set by them themselves but what the general public expect from nursing healthcare professionals. The NMC code changed its standards and expectations in February of 2015 as a result of the Francis report (2013) being published and exposing the appalling conditions of the Staffordshire hospital; the nursing and midwifery council then decided that it was paramount for the code to be revised so as there was no grey areas where the health care professionals were unsure of what standard of care they were expected to uphold and deliver to anyone in their care. The Royal College of Nursing RCN (2015) would describe person centred care as allowing a person to be equal in their care and to empower them to make informed choices about their care plans, it would suggest that the service users should be
The purpose of this assignment is to identify the theories, values and philosophies of care pertaining to own area of practice, describe how the personalisation agenda supports individual choice within service provision, demonstrate understanding of codes of practice and methods of service monitoring, describe the process of marginalisation/stigma and societal responses to de-valued individuals and groups including user involvement and advocacy and finally describe and discuss the principles and process of protecting vulnerable people. Confidentiality and anonymity will be preserved throughout the essay by following the Skills for Health and Skills for Care (2013) Code of Conduct for Healthcare Support Workers. Philosophy means the study of
Piper, Cox, Paterson, Thomas, Thomas, Jeyagopal, & Woznitza (2015) conducted a study examining the results of an accredited postgraduate programme focused on adult chest radiograph reporting, based within the UK. The UK has taken advantage of the shortage of radiologists and allowed the radiographers to help bridge the gap to provide the best patient care possible. Paterson (2010) has reported that “Radiographers produce reports of comparable quality and accuracy to their consultant radiologist colleagues” (p. 10). Furthermore, the use of radiographers to help diagnose has increased the timeliness as well as the number of reports completed. Demonstrating the impact that the advanced training radiographers can have on more effective patient
Radiology is where the frontiers of
To me practicing medicine has always been a challenge of gathering information, assessing the problem, focusing my attention and solving the puzzle; the combination which as I later discovered, encompasses the very core of radiology.
Ever since I was a young child, I have been exposed to the medical sector be it through my own experiences at hospitals or through assisting at my parents’ dental practices. This has widened my eyes to the numerous ways that radiology and diagnostic imaging can be used throughout different environments in the world.
