Patient-Centered Care and Cultural Practices

HLT 307V Grand Canyon Week 1 DQ 2
The following is an excerpt from the textbook reading Professionalism in Health Care:

“If you want to be viewed as a health care professional, you need to be aware of what’s going on in your industry… you need to be keep up with current trends and issues and consider how they might affect your job, your patients, your personal health, and your career.” (Makely, et. al, p. 5)

Give three reasons why it is important for health care professionals to be knowledgeable about what is happening in the health care industry. Provide at least two examples from your readings of ways to keep up with current trends and issues.

The vision statement of The Association of Schools of Allied Health Professions (ASAHP) says that it is “the unifying voice and leading advocate for allied health education.” How does it define the allied health professions? How is this definition consistent with the interdependence described in this week’s reading from Professionalism in Health Care?

Hunt, in the article, “Patient-Centered Care and Cultural Practices: Process and Criteria for Evaluating Adaptations of Norms and Standards in Health Care Institutions,” writes, “Patient-centeredness suggests that health care providers and organizations adapt the services they provide to reflect the goals, needs and values of individual patients.”

What does this statement mean to you? Also, by simply making this statement, Hunt implies that patient-centeredness is not the norm. Why is something as important as this not the norm, particularly since the mission of health care institutions is to provide care to those who cannot care for themselves?
