Power & Patient care models

Power

Power is not something to be taken lightly. There are many people looking up to those in a position of power. It is important to know how to properly use power in order to get things done. Someone in a position of power must look confident in what they are doing and sound confident in what they are saying in order for others to believe them. I like the list on the powerpoint about "the art of using power effectively." This list includes: clear decision making, assertiveness, accountability, willingness to express one's own views, being proactive, and decisiveness. All of these things are very important aspects of being a great leader, and being in a position of power.

Patient care models

I am not currently working, but I think that there is not one single patient care model that works best for every healthcare facility. However in doing research about different types of patient care models I really liked the patient focused nursing care model. This care model focuses on the different players in the healthcare field including the patient, doctors, certified nursing assistants, nurses, physical therapy, etc. and what each of their roles is in caring for the patient. I like this patient care model because it separates different responsibilities, and I think this is the best way to care for a patient. Everyone is trained specifically for their job, and this way the patients gets the best care possible.
