The Role of Nurses in Promoting Patient-centered Care: Strategies for Enhancing Quality and Satisfaction

Abstract

This involves anchoring patient care into the personal preferences, values, and needs. Development of technology, inter-disciplinary collaboration and evidence-based practice has impacted the scope of nursing practice positively, over time in the light of enhancement of improved patient care outcome. Yet, there still exists the need to move along and keep adapting the new tools, technologies and models of care. The evolution of the role of nurses in modern health care is discussed, especially focusing on patient-centered care strategies, technological impact on care, and the need for interdisciplinary teamwork. Discussion also covers the impact of evidence-based practices to improve delivery of nursing care and future integration of such elements within the healthcare system to maximize results.
