Healthcare is the prevention, treatment, and management of illness and the preservation of mental and physical well being through the services offered by the medical, nursing, and allied health professions. Health care embraces all the goods and services designed to promote health, including “preventive, curative and palliative interventions, whether directed to individuals or to populations”. The organized provision of such services may constitute a health care system. The Health Service or cooperation across the Social Services as in Shared Care. Before the term health care became popular, English-speakers referred to the Health and spoke of the treatment and prevention of illness and disease.

Medical Home approach is the premise that patient-centered care requires a fundamental shift in the relationship between patients and their primary care physicians. There must be a higher degree of personalized care coordination, access beyond the acute care episode, and identification of key medical and community resources to meet the patients’ needs. However, the widespread adoption of information technology for care management and quality improvement along with adequate payment methods are essential. In the long run, the Medical Home is likely to result in savings to patients, employers, and health plans. Increasing the emphasis on primary care could produce large dividends throughout the health care system.

Patient factors and safety

These are some of the areas of which nurses are responsible for that are significant in ensuring patient safety in a hospital setting:

Mobility: affects patient’s ability to move independently and control body movement. This includes skin assessment of risk for pressure ulcers and infections of wounds.

Level of awareness: impairs the patient’s ability to communicate signs of healing or worsening conditions. This relates to how the patient communicates with the nurse and possible interventions related to sedation and lack of consciousness, if applicable

Critical condition: patients in critical condition require a great deal of care and should be monitored more closely for changes in condition.

Mental state: those with impaired mental ability will also require more individualized care to provide safety when they are unable to make sound decisions for themselves.

Importance of Plan of Care:

• Patients should know what the plan of care the health care staff have planned for them and if it matches their wishes.

• Cooperation is important to the patient's plan of care.

• Patients should not adjust dressing changes, IV’s, or any type of treatment without consulting the nurse. These regimens have a purpose.

• Patients should follow the plan of care that is recommended after they leave the hospital.
