Patient Preferences and Decision Making
Integrating patient preferences and values into a treatment plan of an Islamic patient significantly affects the care plan’s results. Because of the patient’s personal values, I decided to reschedule the diets and drugs. The approach enabled me to help the client adopt a treatment plan that improved the his mental well-being. Client satisfaction enhanced as a result of eating suitable meals and finding the time to worship. The healing mechanism was eventually strengthened as a result of the intervention. As a result, taking the patient’s preferences into account increased the efficiency of my decisions while dealing with an Islamic client.
Incorporating patient preferences and values can help to change the situation’s course. Better screening methods and health incentives leads a collaborative care strategy hence increasing patient satisfaction (Kelly, 2017). The rationale is that nurses and physicians seek out the appropriate facts in order to implement their care plans. Incorporating medical feedback further encourages the client to choose a healthcare regimen that best meets his or her desires. New research, for example, found that results valued by the actual patient are the proper care option for a specific illness (Kelly, 2017). Patients’ perspectives are taken into account by healthcare professionals, who develop individualized recovery programs that result in positive results. As a result, incorporating the patient’s preferences and beliefs increases the care approach’s efficacy.
Incorporating the patient’s perspectives and preferences, improves the consistency of EBP interventions employed in the healthcare environment. External data, scientific experience, and patient values are the three dimensions of the right evidence to use in clinical judgments (Ginex, 2019). In this case, a nurse should think about how people feel about a particular care method. The Acne Decision Aid’s strategy is a tool which incorporates therapeutic technique used to achieve the best possible results. Consideration of how a client thinks about a decision, for example, will increase their degree of compliance (Ginex, 2019). This argument implies that updating a patient’s viewpoints means that the treatment and healthcare interventions chosen are carried out. The technique improves the efficacy of therapeutic interventions in a medical environment. From a professional standpoint, I will use this judgment to tailor treatment to each individual patient.

Patient Preferences and Decision Making
Question
Changes in culture and technology have resulted in patient populations that are often well informed and educated, even before consulting or considering a healthcare need delivered by a health professional. Fueled by this, health professionals are increasingly involving patients in treatment decisions. However, this often comes with challenges, as illnesses and treatments can become complex.
What has your experience been with patient involvement in treatment or healthcare decisions?
In this Discussion, you will share your experiences and consider the impact of patient involvement (or lack of involvement). You will also consider the use of a patient decision aid to inform best practices for patient care and healthcare decision making.
To Prepare:
Review the Resources and reflect on a time when you experienced a patient being brought into (or not being brought into) a decision regarding their treatment plan.
Review the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute’s Decision Aids Inventory at https://decisionaid.ohri.ca/.
Choose “For Specific Conditions,” then Browse an alphabetical listing of decision aids by health topic.
NOTE: To ensure compliance with HIPAA rules, please DO NOT use the patient’s real name or any information that might identify the patient or organization/practice.Post a brief description of the situation you experienced and explain how incorporating or not incorporating patient preferences and values impacted the outcome of their treatment plan. Be specific and provide examples. Then, explain how including patient preferences and values might impact the trajectory of the situation and how these were reflected in the treatment plan. Finally, explain the value of the patient decision aid you selected and how it might contribute to effective decision making, both in general and in the experience you described. Describe how you might use this decision aid inventory in your professional practice or personal life.
