For a long time health care was all about health care professionals taking control of a patients care, lacking involvement of the patient, which only enabled the patient once they were discharged from care. The last decade or so patients have been hearing the continuous message from health care professionals about getting involved in their care (Vahdat et al., 2014). Patients with chronic conditions should especially be taking control of their own health care, which includes taking medications properly and being on top of scheduling and attending appointments. I think what has changed mostly in patients having control of their own health care, is that health care professionals provide education and information to patients that uses involvement of health care professional and patient. This empowers patients to take control and see positive outcomes with their health. Doctors are known to be the point of contact of all the information, which is why I think for many years patients just had the health care professional take full control of their care because they had full trust in their knowledge and experience. Patients having control of their own health care is important when it comes to decision making about their health care. If the patient has always relies on health care professionals, they won’t have the knowledge of what decisions must be made to better their care (Flavo, 2011).
The biggest change I have seen with patients being able to have more control over their health care is patients now have full access to their own medical records which includes doctors notes, labs, and other results (Vahdat et al., 2014). Another reason why this change of patients having control of their health care has made an impact on medical costs according to a study in 2013. Patients who were encouraged to take control of their own health care were seen to have an overall of 5.3% lower medical costs, 12.5% fewer hospital admission and fewer elective surgeries (Vahdat et al., 2014). Of course, patient involvement is not new but it is becoming more of a necessity in the health care system. Overall, the best part about this change, is that empowers patients to stay healthy and have an easier access to their results and communication with their providers.

The 21st Century Healthcare System has seen a shift from a paternalistic focus to a more collaborative approach with the health professional and the patient working together to plan the patient’s care. In the traditional health provider-patient relationship the physician is regarded as the authority figure with the knowledge and expertise having the sole responsibility for developing a treatment plan that was rarely challenged by the recipients. However, the healthcare system has evolved to give patients more autonomy to manage chronic conditions proactively and make informed decisions about treatment options. Research indicates that shared decision-making leads to better treatment outcomes, fewer elective surgeries, hospital admissions, and lower health costs. According to Falvo, (2011), the concept of patient-centered care has expanded to all areas of healthcare and is linked to increased patient satisfaction and increased quality of care as well as patient adherence to treatment. Patient-centered care is fostered by a partnership between the health professional and the patient that is built on mutual respect and incorporates the patient’s wishes and active participation.
Research done by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality indicates that when patients are engaged in their care it can lead to measurable improvements in safety and quality and has developed an evidence-based resource guide known as ‘A Guide to Patient and Family Engagement in Hospital Quality & Safety,’ that can be used to help nurses work in partnership with patients and their families. (Sherman, 2014). Health institutions stand to benefit from productive relationships with patients and families because the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has also shifted its reimbursement system to a value-based program linked to patient outcomes and patient satisfaction. The ability of patients and their families to effectively engage in their healthcare is contingent on factors such as their knowledge, attitudes, and health literacy. Many patients are hesitant about taking the responsibility of participating in health decision making because they feel overwhelmed by the prospect. There are some health professionals who are also resisting the change to the new model of patient-provider partnership. The nurse is in a unique position to create an environment conducive to this model of patient partnership.
The old model of health teaching limited to brief instructions and a few handouts at discharge is inadequate and many patients have begun to demand answers and express their dissatisfaction. Since patients are now expected to assume more personal responsibility for their health decisions, effective patient teaching requires that the health professional thinks beyond merely providing information but focus on customizing recommendations to meet the patient’s specific needs.(Falvo,2011). When patients are given adequate knowledge and the rationale for treatment, they develop the confidence and sense of control that empowers them to make health decisions that result in improved treatment outcomes. Computer technology has greatly enhanced patients’ knowledge and ability to take charge of their health and become familiar with a vast array of therapeutic options, disease prevention, and disease management methods. As nurses, we must embrace health care reform that facilitates patient engagement and assist patients in their healthcare journey throughout the continuum of care.

It was expected by both patients and health professionals that health professionals were the ultimate authority by virtue of their expertise and would therefore make the final decision about what was best for patients (Stone, 1979). Patients were not expected to play an active role in their healthcare. Nor did providers expect patients to abide by their teaching. In fact, information about their health was typically held from them (Flavo, 2011). The patients knowing too much would make the physicians feel less important and the patient would have less respect for them.
Now, patients have total control over their health and the care they receive as well as the ability to remain compliant or not. Despite what they believed back in the day; patients respect providers more when they give information to the patient about their condition. “Patients frequently misinterpret a lack of information as meaning that the truth is so negative that it cannot be shared with them” (Flavo, 2011). I have found that in my practice, patients are more willing to open up, ask for help and return to follow up appointments if the provider and nurses are more open and hands on with the patient teaching.
However, patients must want to participate in their care. They must be active and engaged to have the best possible outcomes. By telling the patient the consequences of not adhering to the care plan can build trust, enforce teaching, and assure the patient is aware of what is going on.
In my field, I always assess the readiness of my patient to learn. Most are post-surgery, so they do not get up without pain medication or wanting to lay in bed all day and not get in the chair. After assessing readiness, I begin planning the day they are admitted, and that plan continues through till the day of discharge.

The involvement of the patient in the decisions concerning their own health has increased over the years. Patients are now expected to assume more personal responsibility for health outcomes, and patient participation in health and health care has been promoted as best practices. In the past, patients were viewed as passive recipients of health care (Stone, 1979). Generally, neither patients were expected to play any active role in their health care by health care professionals too. (Stone, 1979). Today, this has changed drastically. Patients can now ask questions about their health and demand answers.
Today’s health care system accommodates the personal feelings that patients have on the various treatment plans available. Clinicians and nurses are now being trained on involving patient in their health care practice decision making process from school. I still remember reading patient right, informed consent chapters in nursing school which always guide us to inform patient any all his health issues and get permission before performing and treatment plan. This is an example of empowering patients to make decision in their health care. Technology is considered to be one of the significant sources of developing control over health in people. Patient gain lot of health information related to their health problems in internet so they can get more information and easily understand the therapeutic intervention and make decision appropriately Internet where we can get preventive measures to illness in primary level has enabled people to practice healthy health habit to avoid illness . People are gaining control over health. For example looking to internet and practicing yoga is also an example of gaining control over fitness and health. My 20 year old cousin has DM and he is aware about his disease, sign and symptoms of hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia ,diabetic diet, he states “ aunty I learnt all this from health related websites”. This in just an example how people have knowledge about their health condition and can make decision based upon this knowledge with health care team.

Discussion 2
Describe the difference between research and quality improvement. Provide a workplace example where qualitative and quantitative research is applied and how it was used within your organization. When replying to peers, discuss how these research findings might be incorporated into another health care setting.

Research is a systematic study that aims to increase knowledge and understanding about a particular variable studied, for example, determining how effective a drug is based on a therapeutic result. On the other hand, quality improvement involves a systematic collection of data and statistics to improve healthcare outcomes (Al-Surimi, 2018). An example of such redesigning systems in the healthcare setting to determine the effect on healthcare outcomes. Research primarily follows a specific chronological order with a fixed hypothesis and assesses the study’s effectiveness through data analysis. Conversely, quality improvement has a flexible hypothesis, which variates as the survey continues (Al-Surimi, 2018). Quality improvement is mainly aimed at providing safe, effective, timely, and patient-centered care. In contrast, the main aim of a research undertaking is to determine the usefulness and utility of a medication given to patients (Al-Surimi, 2018).
Workplace Example
Qualitative research can be used to examine healthcare professionals’ change in behavior concerning difficulties and barriers they experience while delivering care to patients, whose findings are usually in words to be interpreted. On the other hand, quantitative research collects statistical information concerning a healthcare determinant, enabling empirical investigation (Rutberg & Bouikidis, 2018). In the surgical unit, we conducted qualitative and quantitative research on healthcare professionals to determine why physicians frequently got infections. From the data collected, it was discovered that it was due to lack of enough physicians’ gloves and washing stations. When this data was represented on a graph, a bigger percentage of participants complained of a lack of a washing station. This information was used for quality improvement in the facility, and more cleaning stations were put in place to ensure physicians practice regular handwashing hygiene

The purpose of performing research is to find new knowledge about the effect of a medicine, treatment, or procedure. Health care providers and health care organizations collect data for several different reasons. Data collection is performed to meet the requirements of mandatory reporting by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Data are also collected for quality improvement, and data are collected for research purposes. If data are collected for research purposes, different procedures are required. For health care, data collection for quality can be done without acquiring approval or consent, which is required for research studies.
Quality Improvement (QI) is data-driven and usually done to improve the quality of care provided to patients. QI may benefit a process, system, and possibly the patient. QI, as defined by the Department of Health and Human Services (2011), consists of “systematic and continuous actions that lead to measurable improvement in health services and the health status of targeted patient groups” (p. 1). When health care providers and nurses carry out a QI project, it may not be the implementation of something new, but an improvement upon something already in place. QI takes a team to produce results. A QI project does not subject the participant to any risk, and the participant may not even be aware of being involved in a QI project. The QI project usually occurs at the facility where the problem was found. Monthly data are collected regarding patient safety at most facilities. Facilities include health care institutions such as hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, long-term facilities, clinics, and doctors’ offices (Helbig 2018).
