title: Formulating treatment partnerships with patients and their families. A case study.
abstract: 1. A care environment, per se, can foster patient recovery and confidence that things will work out as well as can be expected when staff practices and explicit processes are patient-centered and adapted to developmental and individual needs. 2. Separating more cognitively impaired from higher functioning patients and developing more specialized nursing teams affords a healing and restorative care environment, individualized care routines and specialty groups along with finely-tuned patient/family education. 3. Organized staff education and mentoring programs combined with master scheduling enhances the continuity of patient-centered practices and risk management protocols.
