Patient-Centered Care in Emergency Department: The Impact of Nurse Practitioners on Safety and Quality of Care – A Systematic Review
Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction: Emergency department nurses use patient-centered interventions to boost patient safety and quality of care. This study evaluates the effect of emergency nurses using patient-centered interventions in promoting quality and safe care.
Methods: The study embarks on a systematic review on patient-centered care in the emergency department. 10 articles were selected for the review from CINAHL, Cochrane Library, PubMed, and Google Scholar.
Results: 2 articles embarked on patient-centered care in the emergency department. 3 articles embarked on the role of communication as a patient-centered intervention in promoting patient safety and quality of care in the emergency department. 5 articles covered barriers and facilitators to emergency nurses delivering patient centered care.
Discussion: Nurses use patient-centered interventions to promote the health and well-being of emergency patients. These interventions are communication, collaboration, and shared-decision making. In addition, there are facilitators and barriers to these interventions in the emergency department.
Conclusion: Although the study has considerable limitations, patient-centered interventions promote patient care in the emergency department. As such, nurses should embark on standardized framework, teamwork, and knowledge sharing to promote quality of care and patient safety in emergency department.
