Study Notes

Involving Patients in Their Care

Patients are more satisfied when they are actively involved in their healthcare and can make informed treatment decisions.
It is crucial to obtain patient consent before involving their next-of-kin in their care.

Providing a Conducive Environment

A clean and comfortable environment improves patient experience.
Showing empathy and compassion can increase patient satisfaction.

The Patient's Journey

A patient's journey includes several key stages: pre-treatment, treatment, and post-treatment.
Pre-treatment involves activities such as scheduling appointments and gathering necessary information.
Treatment stage includes healthcare services like consultations, diagnostic testing, and treatments.
Post-treatment includes follow-up care, discharge planning, and coordinating care with other providers.

Reliability in Healthcare

Healthcare professionals must ensure safety, appropriateness, effectiveness, and efficiency when providing care.
Safety involves carrying out activities without harming patients.
Appropriateness involves providing necessary information or services based on patient needs.
Effectiveness involves doing what is best for the patient, not just what is easiest.
Efficiency involves good management of resources like time, manpower, equipment, and effort.

Personalised Responsiveness

Every patient wants to feel special and treated as an individual.
Healthcare professionals must understand and consider each patient's unique preferences, expectations, and situations.

Methods of Verification

Involving patients in the identification process through "two patient identifiers" improves reliability and eliminates errors.
Using two identifiers ensures a correct match between the service or treatment and the individual.

Qualities of a Positive Interaction and Experience

A patient-first mindset prioritizes patient needs and focuses on what they want.
Patients need to be treated as individuals who want to be listened to, understood, and cared for.
Healthcare professionals must put patient needs first and go out of their way to ensure satisfaction.

Positive Attitude in Healthcare

A positive attitude in healthcare professionals involves enthusiasm, a "can-do" attitude, and optimism.
A cheerful demeanor helps patients feel comfortable and at ease.
Attitude and character are equally important as competence in providing care.
