A rehabilitation hospital wants to implement a patient-centered approach. The chief executive officer has requested this change after reviewing the Institute of Medicine reports on quality and healthcare professions. The senior management team has just concluded a meeting discussing this topic. The hospital has many patients with chronic illnesses and disabilities. These patients are often referred to the rehab hospital after acute care and stay long periods of time for physical therapy, occupational therapy, and nursing care. The hospital looks like a typical hospital with little personal features. Visiting hours tend to be regulated with staff members saying that they want patients to focus on their treatment. Considering the content in this chapter and earlier chapters on change and organizations, what would you recommend as chief nursing executive to respond to this directive?

1.
What does patient-centered care mean?

2.
Identify strategies that this organization could take to implement a patient-centered approach.

3.
How might patient-centered care impact nursing care in this hospital? How might patient-centered care impact other services?

4.
How might the hospital use its consumers (patients and families) in this change process?

5.
You recommend that the hospital use clinical pathways. Why would this recommendation be connected with patient-centered care?
