What changes can we make that will result in improvement? The team must be able to identify the changes that are most likely to lead to an improvement (“Institute for Healthcare Improvement,” n.d.). Once these questions have been answered, the team can begin implementing the second part of Deming’s model. Deming’s Model: Part Two Plan: The team needs to understand what the current problem is and what makes the current process insufficient. During this phase, the team will determine how much improvement is required, what change will be implemented, how the effects will be measured, and what or who will be affected by the change (“The Deming Cycle,” n.d.).
In this assessment I am going to plan a care pathway for each physiological disorder including the roles of relevant practitioners. What is a care pathway? A care pathway is when different professionals come together to design a report that meets the needs of the service users over a particular period of time. Assessment of needs Assessment of needs is when health care professionals identify problem within care needs of the service users by assessing the physical, intellectual, emotional and social needs. The assessment of needs forms the background or starting point for further assessments against which improvements are compared.

Ghaye et al (2000, pg 6) explain “reflection has the potential to transform both who we are and what we are able to do, for and with others in our healthcare worlds”. Reflective practice can help shape peoples values, which are fundamentally important as they make healthcare professionals the people they are. Reflection allows healthcare professionals to gain a sense of situation as it occurs and therefore gain a sense of clarity. Reflective practice permits health care professionals to assess the impact of their work on service users, families and their colleagues. This is essential for people working within health and social care as it improves clinical practice.
Some people may have very similar needs when it comes to treatment and or care but before new treatments and care plans are introduced it is important to carry out a research project or study to investigate the benefits of others. Charities and organisations whose purpose is to raise awareness and improve the care of individuals with illnesses, diseases or disorders can base and focus their research on better diagnosis so that they can identify people’s needs earlier as they can then start to help the patient/client by ensuring the correct treatment is given to them as soon as possible. Highlighting the gaps in provision Highlighting the gaps in the provision that is already available is important for health and social care workers also. This is because that gap could be affecting a huge amount of people who are ill or need assistance and can’t get the help that they need because the services just aren’t available to them. The needs of communities are constantly changing and new gaps in provision appear over time.
It is a way for professionals to embody and project change, to make a difference. Furthermore, the main focus of this paper is to define health care communication with emphasis on the relevancy of effective personal health care communication with other health care professionals, clients, and patients. It will also discuss the relevancy of effective professional health care communication to health outcomes as well as how the lack of effective personal and professional health care communications can contribute to poor health outcomes. The theories and principles of therapeutic communication in health care settings for the health care professional will also be incorporated. Definition of Health Care Communication According to the Centers for Disease Control and the National Cancer Institute, health care communication is "The study and use of communication strategies to inform and influence individual decisions that enhance health."
Behavior includes people’s actions and mannerisms. Behavior in health is based on how people approach health and the lifestyles they develop, which are based on societal influences and attitudes. The Committee on Health and Behavior viewed behavior through a scientific lens. According to the committee, “biobehavioral sciences are used…to refer to the panoply of basic, applied, and clinical sciences that contribute to an understanding of behavior” (Committee on Health and Behavior, 2001, p. 20). These sciences help to explain people’s behavior towards health and how social influences and personal attitudes influence behavior.
Health Promotion in Nursing There are various definitions that apply to health promotion. Health promotion can be “the science and art of helping people change their lifestyle to move toward a state of optimal health.” (Edelman, 2014, p. 12). According to Edelman there happens to be a more complex definition that was commissioned by the U.S. Public Health Service stating health promotion is ““the process of advocating health in order to enhance the probability that personal (individual, family, and community), private (professional and business), and public (federal, state, and local government) support of positive health practices will become a societal norm” (Edelman, 2014, p. 12). Health promotion applied in nursing practice is vital for patients. Nurses apply health promotion everyday to their patients wither they realize it or not.
