I greatly appreciate being given the opportunity to participate in a discussion regarding ideas to improve the patient care service in our respective areas of volunteering. I have completed two semesters in integrative therapy at sharp Chula Vista and one aspect that I consider needs improvement is the patients' rooms; especially the areas of east wing 3rd , 4th and 5th floor. The rooms are extremely too small to accommodate two patients. The space around the bed is occupied by bulky chairs, IV pole, patients’ over bed table, and the nurse's station with the computer and chair against the front wall of the bed, leaving only a few feet, enough to pass to the sides of the bed or for the patient to access the bathroom.…
Theses factors include: an informed and involved patient and family, receptive and responsive healthcare professionals who focus not only on the disease, but also on knowing the patient, and a well-coordinated and well-integrated healthcare environment that supports the efforts of all parties involved (Epstein, Fiscella, Lesser, & Stange, 2010). Change begins with education. To start, continuing education should be provided to all providers and clinic personnel on establishing a patient centered care model, including education on: collaborating with patients and families in care decision making, culturally responsive practice and collaborating with patients and families to develop goals and action plans for the self-management of chronic diseases. This education should be made a mandatory part of staff and clinician annual continuing education. Next, educational programs should be made available to patients and families.…

Integrative medicine is the new buzz word for medical care that complements mainstream medical care. It addresses the emotional, social, and spiritual needs of patients and families when many mainstream Doctors are scratching their heads where to go next. It aims to provide information to patients about over the counter products and unproven medical treatments that may impact the disease process that they are facing. We often forget that mainstream medicine is still called the "practice" of medicine. All people are different when it comes to treatment and no treatment should be considered too far out.…

Integrative medicine is a mix of past techniques, as well as the use of new approaches focusing on mental health and wellness therapies (mind and body). In the past, we used medication to make the pain go away, masking it but never removing it. With integrative medicine, we use therapeutical approaches to not only make the pain go away, but focus on the problem and solve it. In integrative medicine, both the patient and the practitioner work together through the healing process. Unlike our ways, in which we prescribe patients the medication they need for the pain to subside, but the injury never being cured.…
The Medical fraternity themselves are starting to recognise the importance of evaluating a person holistically, and in response to disease “Biomedicine now admits multiple and interactive causes, and that the whole may be more than simply the sum of the parts. ”(………..date). Supporters of the social model of health also largely acknowledge that the Biomedical approach is needed to deal with many illnesses, disabilities, and diseases, but would like to see other approaches such as natural therapies included in the prevention and cure of individuals, and for the medical profession to not only holistically assess an individual, but to interrelate with social agencies and the community to optimise the best functional result for individuals and…
