Description
Johs-Artisensi (2017) highlighted the importance of involving residents actively in their care planning process, emphasizing their informed participation. This aligns with Van de Ven's view that patients value relationships with providers based on mutual respect and engagement in decision-making. These insights underscore the critical role of robust care planning in soliciting resident preferences, integrating them into care plans, and ensuring clear communication among caregivers.
At Shepherd Lodge, the "CARESync Forum" introduces an innovative protocol during resident move-in. This protocol involves a comprehensive, multidisciplinary meeting including the resident, family members, and the entire care team. The primary objective is to create an inclusive environment where all stakeholders collaboratively understand the resident's individual needs, preferences, and care goals, resulting in a personalized 24-hour care plan. This initiative facilitates direct communication between all departments and the resident's family, enhancing person-centered care and aligning with palliative care principles.
The CARESync Forum offers advantages; Promotes a cohesive approach by providing the entire care team with a unified narrative about the resident, ensuring consistency and clarity in care delivery. It also ensures early integration of the resident's and family's wishes, particularly regarding end-of-life care, into the care plan. This proactive inclusion of goals-of-care discussions respects the resident's values and preferences, contributing to ongoing personalized care.
Moreover, the session enhances person-centered care by tailoring the care plan to reflect the resident’s specific preferences, routines, and daily preferences, thereby enhancing their overall well-being and satisfaction. Family involvement fosters supportive and transparent environment, strengthening trust and collaboration with the care team.
In conclusion, the CARESync Forum significantly enhances care quality by ensuring comprehensive, consistent, and personalized care planning from the outset. This protocol addresses the medical and emotional needs of residents while upholding their dignity and autonomy, aligning care delivery with their individual goals and preferences throughout their stay.
