Patient-Centric Health Care Practices

Patient-Centric Health Care Practices 

Scenario

Imagine you are the CEO of a health care organization. You would  like to implement a patient-centric health information management system  (HIMS) within the organization. This system needs to take into  consideration health care costs and safety. You need your executive team  on board to ensure successful implementation of this patient-centric  health care technology information system. You plan to present a  detailed report to your management team about the patient-centric  approach, its benefits and challenges, and why your organization needs  to embrace this approach.

Instructions

You will write a 5–6 page research report in which you address the following:

1. Taking into consideration patient safety and health care costs,  explain why a patient-centric approach is important in today’s health  care system along with the challenges involved in implementation.  Provide specific examples to justify your reasoning.


2. Analyze the benefits derived by health care organizations that  practice a patient-centric approach, stating their unique  characteristics. Provide at least two examples to support your ideas.


3. Identify two examples of a patient-centric health care practice  and propose three ways patient-centric technology could increase patient  access to quality health care.


4. Suggest three ways that HIMS can improve the patient experience  within a health care organization or with a health care provider.


5. Predict three ways you would use patient-centric health care  practice principles to improve quality care measures within your  organization.
