HCA 333 Week 1 Assignment ( Person-centered Care ) ~ A + Tutorial With References

Locate the full-text article on person-centered care by Koren in ProQuest, through the Ashford University Online Library. Read the article and in a two- to three-page paper (excluding the title and reference page) using APA format, discuss the following:

1. Summarize the three key points made by the author about patient-centered care. Why is this form of care important? How does it affect outcomes? How can we overcome obstacles to the adoption of these culture-change practices?

2. Discuss a minimum of three barriers/challenges to implementing person-centered care in nursing homes.

3. In addition to person-centered care practices mentioned in the article, identify two other examples of person-centered care practices. For example, allowing patients to choose their own meal times based upon personal preference.

Include at least two additional scholarly resources (in addition to the Koren article) cited according to APA guidelines as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center, to support your discussion.
