Download or read book High Quality Care for All written by Secretary of State for Health and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2008 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This review incorporates the views and visions of 2,000 clinicians and other health and social care professionals from every NHS region in England, and has been developed in discussion with patients, carers and the general public. The changes proposed are locally-led, patient-centred and clinically driven. Chapter 2 identifies the challenges facing the NHS in the 21st century: ever higher expectations; demand driven by demographics as people live longer; health in an age of information and connectivity; the changing nature of disease; advances in treatment; a changing health workplace. Chapter 3 outlines the proposals to deliver high quality care for patients and the public, with an emphasis on helping people to stay healthy, empowering patients, providing the most effective treatments, and keeping patients as safe as possible in healthcare environments. The importance of quality in all aspects of the NHS is reinforced in chapter 4, and must be understood from the perspective of the patient's safety, experience in care received and the effectiveness of that care. Best practice will be widely promoted, with a central role for the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) in expanding national standards. This will bring clarity to the high standards expected and quality performance will be measured and published. The review outlines the need to put frontline staff in control of this drive for quality (chapter 5), with greater freedom to use their expertise and skill and decision-making to find innovative ways to improve care for patients. Clinical and managerial leadership skills at the local level need further development, and all levels of staff will receive support through education and training (chapter 6). The review recommends the introduction of an NHS Constitution (chapter 7). The final chapter sets out the means of implementation.

Book excerpt: In a joint effort between the National Academy of Engineering and the Institute of Medicine, this books attempts to bridge the knowledge/awareness divide separating health care professionals from their potential partners in systems engineering and related disciplines. The goal of this partnership is to transform the U.S. health care sector from an underperforming conglomerate of independent entities (individual practitioners, small group practices, clinics, hospitals, pharmacies, community health centers et. al.) into a high performance "system" in which every participating unit recognizes its dependence and influence on every other unit. By providing both a framework and action plan for a systems approach to health care delivery based on a partnership between engineers and health care professionals, Building a Better Delivery System describes opportunities and challenges to harness the power of systems-engineering tools, information technologies and complementary knowledge in social sciences, cognitive sciences and business/management to advance the U.S. health care system.

Download or read book Patient Partner Engagement Reviewing the Literature on the Patient Experience in Rural to Urban Medical Travel written by Simran Jawanda and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Currently, there is little known about the patient experience in traveling, transitioning, or relocating for other types of medical care to more urban centres, especially in the context of medical care transfers from rural and/or isolated areas of Northwestern British Columbia. This patient-oriented study is purposefully including patient partners in the steering committee to ensure a higher level of knowledge translation and to help inform decisions with their insights and awareness. The engagement of patient partners allows the study to focus on their priorities which, in turn, will lead to more prioritized findings and better outcomes for the patients, patient families, and health care providers. At the most recent steering committee meeting, patient partners were included in decisions being made for the scoping literature review. The group reviewed the initial search terms to establish an all-encompassing search. The three main questions being brought to the group were: u201cwhat ages should be included?u201d, u201cdate range?u201d, and u201cwhat countries should be included?u201d. The group decided that we would focus on ages 19+ due to children with critical illness having different resources that meant this topic may need to be researched separately. The dates decided on would look at the last 10 years, 2009-2019, as many felt that the research before this will likely not be relevant due to the vast advancements in technology, cellphones and 3G networks being one example. Thirdly, while the US may have differences in medical insurance, they also have more published research than Canada, so the group ultimately decided to include the US as well as additional countries in the scoping literature review. These are only a few examples of how our patient partners provided us with helpful guidance that we may not have otherwise considered and how they will continue to enlighten the research process with their own rich experiences.
