Definition: Patient-Centered Care
Definition Patient-centered care (patient centred care): “Is a model in which providers partner with families to identify and satisfy the full range of patient needs and preferences.”
To expand this definition, patient-centered care is dependent on the involvement of the staff and care team as well.
“To succeed, a patient-centered approach must also address the staff experience as staff’s ability and inclination to effectively care for patients is unquestionably compromised if they do not feel care for themselves" (Picker Institute).
Researchers from Harvard Medical School, on behalf of Picker Institute and The Commonwealth Fund, defined seven primary dimensions of patient-centered care model.
These factors are identified as:
Respect for patients’ values, preferences and expressed needs
Coordination and integration of care
Information, communication and education
Physical comfort
Emotional support and alleviation of fear and anxiety
Involvement of family and friends
Transition and continuity

Working in Oncology care, the Oncology Nursing Society or ONS is a national professional specialty nursing association that I have been an ongoing member of since 2010. As an organization, their mission is “to advance excellence in oncology nursing and quality cancer care” with a vision “to lead the transformation of cancer care” (Oncology Nursing Society, 2017). Innovation, excellence and advocacy is what guides ONS to improve the quality of life and outcomes for patients with cancer and their families as well as improving the nursing profession (Oncology Nursing Society, 2017). They are continually working towards promoting respect and recognition on behalf of patients and the nursing profession. They not only engage in providing education and training for nurses but also engage in international outreach and partnering with other organizations that share common goals to enhance quality of care for people with cancer. They also serve as advocates to promote public health policy. ONS sends members to the Nurse in Washington Internship program annually giving attendees a better understanding of political, legislative and regulatory issues facing nurses ending with a visit to Capitol Hill to influence policy for nurses and the patients they serve (Saria et al., 2014). Cancer care is complex and continuously changing. As a member of the health care team, I feel the values of excellence, innovation and advocacy are reflected in their mission and vision statements. I also feel their mission and vision statements also mirrors the organization I work for. As a health care provider, Aurora Health Care, helps people to live well, providing the best care possible during and after a patient’s hospitalization. They support and encourage their medical/oncology nurses to become oncology and chemotherapy certified. They provide annual mandatory cancer education and offer monthly oncology seminars for all health care providers. The also encourage and support local, state and national seminars as well for their nurses. As a health care provider, they are devoted to providing the most current up to date treatment and promote safety through the encouragement and participation of evidence based initiatives and quality improvement projects.

Nurse is a person who is dedicated to taking care of people in the.docxcherishwinsland
Nurse is a person who is dedicated to taking care of people in the health care field. Nurses play a role of leader in every step of their career. They use their skills, knowledge and experiences to take care of individual and communities. Therefore, every nurse should be aware of their leadership role within self as well as need to identify weakness which may be due to lacking knowledge and skills. Nursing is an independent profession of health science and has a great influence in shaping healthy work environment. Being A nurse for a few years as well as taking the position of charge nurse, I have found myself having the quality of the leadership traits. I feel that there are more rooms for me to do and learn, which will make me a reliable nursing professional. This paper discusses the weakness and strength of a nurse based on the nurse manager skills tools. The nurse manager inventory skill tool reflects my skills, behavior, and professional accountability, career planning, my journey disciplines and reflective practice reference behaviors.
Personal and professional accountability
When evaluating myself on personal growth, career development, continuing education and certification, I would rate myself in the average range. Despite of being enrolled in school for BSN degree, I still have more to do such as, medical/surgical and orthopedic certification are my area of interest. Currently working to achieve these along with my BSN degree. I am a stroke certified nurse and a member of the American Nurses Association since 2010. After completing my BSN degree, I plan to continue my nursing for a doctorate degree in nursing. I have not been active in the legislation in advocation my fellow nurses nor my patients. However, I rate myself high when it comes to the ethical act and nursing practices. I am highly influenced through the evidence bases practice to improve the quality of care and patient outcomes. It is important for me to demonstrate this behavior as well as show dedication to other fellow nurses to keep the culture of practice and improve the quality of care.
Career planning
With the evolution of health care industry nurses’ responsibility, role, education changes according to the healthcare demand. This evolving of the profession has created an atmosphere for nurses to regulator their career in futures according to the needs of society. According to NCBI “career planning and development provides nurses with a focused strategy to take greater responsibility for engaging in the ongoing planning process that is crucial throughout the major stages of their career (Rebecca Hendren, October 2010)”. Nurses should also continue to develop their knowledge, leadership skills, and competencies with other health care professionals as well. According to Institute of Medicine (IOM) report, sickest patient will only be admitted to hospital, but the less sick patient remains at home (Donner, G. J., & Wheeler, M. M. (2001, June). This indicates that nu.
