One of those organizations is the Joint Commission and another one of them is the National Committee of Quality Assurance (NCQA). These organizations are responsible for developing and improving the quality of care. The Joint Commission is responsible for trying to continually improve the health care of the public they do this by working with stakeholders and evaluating different health care organizations while encouraging them to go above and beyond in providing safe and effective care at the highest quality and value (Spath, 2014).

Each of these principles directly relates to the need for a naturopath to collect in-depth information from patients in the initial consultation. The role of a naturopath is to support each patient in their journey toward better health by identifying obstacles to recovery and removing any disturbing factors to allow the Vis Medicatrix Naturae to restore vitalism. The more information gathered in the initial consultation the easier it is to identify the possible underlying causes of a patient’s ill health.

If the person gets a positive reinforcement of a certain behaviour then they are more likely to do it again however if they have a negative reinforcement then they would not repeat it again. Reinforcement is the most important part of the behaviourist approach. A paediatric nurse in a healthcare setting provides reinforcement at each step of the process. For example, when a child is having to get a blood test done and is afraid and refusing to do, the nurse will look for a positive behaviour and then gives the patient immediate reinforcement by saying, “you are such a big boy” or “you did an excellent job”.

Therefore, doctors, physician assistants, nurses, pharmacists, and the individual themselves are in fact what makes up the the health care industry that needs to reduce the risks from using medicines and to get the most benefit out of them.
