This essay will explore the holistic nursing care, which is specific to an adult case study of Albert. He has been recently diagnosed with a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and is finding it hard to come to terms with it. COPD constitute of chronic bronchitis, emphysema and chronic obstructive airway disease. It is a progressive disease with no cure, but treatments are available to help the symptoms such as breathlessness, chest infection (NHS Choices, 2014). Albert has been increasingly breathless and has been a heavy smoker for 40 years, which is the main cause of his COPD.
CCOM has a patient-oriented philosophy with an emphasis on biological, psychological, and sociological approaches. I value this holistic technique of helping patients reach a high level of wellness by focusing on their health promotion and disease prevention. I look forward to learning how to give quality care to patients in a compassionate manner. CCOM 's years of experience, curriculum, and countless achievements exemplify these extraordinary principles. I have no doubt that CCOM is among the finest institutions and I would be honored to contribute to CCOM esteemed

Person-centred care is the holistic practice of caring for patients, respecting the patients’ preferences and needs, and engaging the patient in decisions regarding their care. A person-centred approach to care is essential in providing a safe and efficient quality of practice. The Picker Institute recognised key principles conducive to a positive patient experience (Oneview, 2015). Transparent communication and information, provision of choice to the patient and respect of choices made, and responsive support are key aspects of these principles, and when implemented encourage successful therapeutic and professional relationships with patients.

There are many things that define and promotes the use of accreditation as a means of accountability across the continuum of care. The market, regulation, and professionalism all affect the use of accreditation as a means of accountability across the continuum of care. The role of the market play in defining and promoting the use of accreditation as means of accountability across the continuum of care is that money talks. Health care purchasers and consumers can use money as a mean to stimulate organizations to improve quality by either rewarding or punishing the organization base on performance or progress. (1) Healthcare consumers and purchasers are demanding more information regarding quality of care.
Chromium is a transitional element, with three stable forms. It is a neutrally charged stable form, but naturally occurs in the environment. Trivalent chromium is a +3 charge stable form of chromium that can be naturally oxidized from its neutrally charged version, occurring in the environment (Mertz et al., 1974; Barrett et al., 1985; Alexander et al., 1990). Hexavalent chromium is a +6 charge stable form of chromium which is the product of industry, and it is very toxic to living things. Hexavalent chromium may be reduced naturally in the environment to the less harmful trivalent chromium.
A rising number of hospitals throughout the U.S. are applying a service model known as integrated health care (Kathol, Perez, Cohen 2010). The need for this is center around this area: Integration has made its approach into the health care settings gradually. This can assist in treating one’s medical and behavioral health needs within patient’s primary care provider’s office, recommending a proper evaluation as a whole person (Blout, 2003). Medical clinics have been used for a many years but its recognition is growing nationwide because of its effectiveness. Impact all parties involved, including but not limited to, patients, providers and insurance companies can be very effective.
Person centred care is associated with treating people with respect, acknowledging their rights as human beings and having a trusted and therapeutic relationship between the person and their care provider (McCormack et al, 2011). Guidelines of person centred care give clarity towards how nurses should behave and such knowledge and expertise they should develop. These skills acquired can then be used to enhance person centred care through self and team assessment (McCormack et al, 2008). In this essay, I will critically explore individualised person centred care in association with McCormack’s model. I will identify how this model can improve the experience of care for the older person.
The Importance of the Six Aims of Quality Patient Care (STEEEP) Since the addition of Crossing the Quality Chasm six aims of quality patient care was created by the Institute of Medicine (IOM), there has been a significant change in the effectiveness and condition of patient care. Before this report came out in 2001, health care providers did not realize that they were not providing proper care to patients in addition to disorganization and complexity of standards of care. The IOM was able to determine that, “failure of system processes, poor communication, and unhealthy work environments contribute to medical errors, ineffective delivery of care, and stress among health professionals” (Winterbottom 2012). It is essential for patients to feel
Tom Kitwood (1997) cited in (The Open University, 2017) supports the approach of seeing and treating people as individuals, he calls this ‘person-centred care’. This approach looks at the physical, social and psychological needs of the individual. Person-centred care encourages people to have more involvement in making decisions about their care so they get the support and service they need. There are three main types of long-term care settings such as residential care homes which offer different degrees of personal care, Nursing homes offer care which requires the skills of qualified nursing staff and long-stay hospitals which offer a more specialised medical care. (The Open University, 2017).
Patient centered care is an approach of forming a therapeutic relationship between care providers, older people and families, mainly focusing on the values and respect (lenus). Care of which is respectful to an individual’s needs, values, social circumstances, lifestyles and family situations by putting them at the centre of care is a priority. This is a way of thinking and doing things in a way of using health and social services as partners. Meeting the needs of the older person include personalising the care of preference, taking account the physical comfort and safety of the individual and Making sure patient has access to appropriate care when they need it. Involvement of families is important as the centre of decisions, whilst working along side professionals for the best outcome.
In a clinical environment, person centred care is an essential approach in order to achieve the best outcomes for the patients individual needs. Person centred care involves taking a holistic approach to healthcare in which multiple factors such as age, beliefs, spirituality, values and preferences are taken into consideration when assessing, treating and caring for a patient (Epstein & Street 2011). It enables the patient to have a more interactive and collaborative approach in their healthcare, share responsibility and maintain their dignity and values. It involves a bio-psychosocial perspective to healthcare as opposed to a biomedical attitude. In order to provide patient centred care, the clinician needs to consider the individual’s needs
Demonstrating ‘respect for patients’ values, preferences and expressed needs,’ is one of the eight dimensions of person centred care outlined by the Picker Institute (ref). Morgan and Yoder (2012) described ‘respectful care’ as being an attribute of person centred and while the author does not disagree with this idea of ‘respectful care’ being inherent to person centred care, the author believes that Slater (2006) more accurately describes dignity and respect as being antecedents of person centred care. These antecedents drive respect of personal values, individual needs and decisions, a consequence of which is an improved therapeutic relationship and health outcomes. The author considers this view of dignity, compassion and respect as antecedents
