Book Description

1886624194 978-1886624191 June 30, 2004 1
The result of Creative Health Care Management’s 25 years experience in transforming patient care, this book provides health care leaders with a practical approach for transforming their care delivery system into one that is patient and family centered and built on the power of relationships. Relationship-Based Care provides a practical framework for addressing current challenges and is intended to benefit health care organizations in which commitment to care and service to patients is strong and focused. It will also prove useful in organizations searching for solutions to complex struggles with patient, staff and physician dissatisfaction; difficulty recruiting and retaining and developing talented staff members; conflicted work relationships and related quality issues. Winner of the 2004 American Journal of Nursing Book of the Year Award.

4.0 out of 5 stars Relationship-Based care, August 31, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Relationship-Based Care: A Model for Transforming Practice (Paperback)
I find the book a good resource and full of valuable information. It isn't a book to read in a short while, as I found the information well researched and needing time to process the information.
I would suggest this book for educators, administrators, management, resource persons. Very helpful information.

5.0 out of 5 stars Real Nurses Accomplish Care Despite Big Administrative Organization, July 26, 2010
This review is from: Relationship-Based Care: A Model for Transforming Practice (Paperback)
This book is a fine collaborative discourse defending institutional nursing and institutional quality assurance.
The expanding and changing roles and boundaries of nursing are noted. The changing Doctor Nurse game, shared governance, evidence based practice, self directed education, and decentralization are noted. As a previous reviewer has stated, we have heard this all before.
As Dr Lawrence Savett suggests, We may learn a lot about nursing from this book. The authors suggest we need a lot of consultation so that top heavy administrations can get it right. Terrific book well documented. It could be noted that current news reports that the British are decentralizing their top heavy health administration. As a medical provider (Nurse Practitioner), I think our system seems to need real change including less administrative cost, less constraint on important care, more collaboration, more truth in advertising for pharmaceuticals, and then the "primacy of caring" may prevail.
