Change Management and Patient-Centered Care

The health care team needs to make changes in health management to ensure the patients’ involvement in their health care plan. They are supposed to guide the patients properly about the disease and advise them on specific adjustments to improve their health. The health care providers used to apply facts and logic, insisting the patients follow a health care plan which was usually ignored on the part of the patients (Bergerum et al., 2019). This was followed by a reprimand being repeated by the physician. This tactic never worked in improving the health of the patients. The need is to change the attitude of the whole care management and care plan. The research has shown that instead of arguing or forcing the patients to follow the health care plan, it is needed to go for more patient-centered approaches. Health professionals should question the patients to think of ways of improving their health and make a plan themselves, assess the barriers encompassing their ways, and suggest a more appropriate and suitable plan (Poitras et al, 2018). This tactic has paved the path to achieving health care goals.

Care coordination and guided care plan have brought positive changes to the health care system. Making the patients a part of their team and transmitting essential knowledge to the patients enhances the patient’s involvement. This increases the patients’ satisfaction and guarantees effective care provision to them (Chen et al., 2020). Coordinated care planning has been shown to improve the quality of care.
