Chapter 9 Case Study Questions
This activity contains 5 questions.
Is the Patient First?
A rehabilitation hospital wants to implement a patient-centered approach. The chief
executive officer has requested this change after reviewing the Institute of Medicine
reports on quality and healthcare professions. The senior management team has just
concluded a meeting discussing this topic. The hospital has many patients with chronic
illnesses and disabilities. These patients are often referred to the rehab hospital after acute
care and stay long periods of time for physical therapy, occupational therapy, and nursing
care. The hospital looks like a typical hospital with little personal features. Visiting hours
