frameworks used in this project are composed of the concept of patient engagement and the levels of prevention model. When patients have knowledge, skills, and willingness, they are more likely to engage and involve in their own health care. Patient engagement occurs when patients actively participate in the patient-centered interventions; it requires a collaboration between patients and healthcare providers (Tzeng, Yin, & Fitzgerald, 2015). Patient engagement relies on an effective…

When an employee knows that he/she is accountable for the health quality care, then there is less finger pointing and instead each employee helps, encourage and work together. - It involves everyone in the organization to create and sustain quality care, which becomes a culture that drives…
clear that further research is required to advance and evaluate the impact of primary care practice-level interventions aimed to increase the proportion of eligible patients up to date with CRCS…
Acute Rehab Unit: Safe Patient Discharge is a Priority Introduction of Concept Preventing falls of all patients is the first priority of acute rehab unit. Stroke and traumatic brain injury patients are at higher risk due to cognitive impairment and weakness on the affected side after the stroke and fall. Patients forget their limitation of mobility and try to move independently without realizing their weakness after the stroke and ends up in falling and suffer more injury. Patients’ safety is…

organization. One primary example of this is in the form of Electronic Health Records, where many hospitals and other ambulatory organizations are incorporating it within their day to day work tasks, as they see it as the next stepping stone in patient service and care.
