Discussion Post: Evidence Based Practice
For each Barrier to Patient Centered Care listed below, identify facilitators that could be introduced to balance/offset the barrier. Provide rationale for your response based on resources (articles, practice guidelines, etic) as appropriate:
Barriers:
• Competing care obligations (patient-load) interfere with prioritizing discussions of discharge planning with patient/planning.
• Discharge communication ranged from simple one-sided instruction to shared decision making.
• Patients did not feel prepared for discharge and post-discharge care was not individualized.
• Discharge process/decisions affected by pressure for available beds.
The response should include a reference list. Using double-space, Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
