Holistic approach to the therapeutic team in patient care.
Provision of a high standard of patient care is closely connected with the holistic approach to a patient by members of the therapeutic team. The greater detail are the problems of care of a patient discussed in during the meetings of the team, the higher the results of holistic care. Therefore, the study was undertaken to discover the scope of problems discussed during the meetings of the therapeutic team in hospitals with accreditation and without the Quality Certificate. The study covered 560 physicians and nurses from 4 hospitals with accreditation and 17 without the Quality Certificate. The research method was a diagnostic survey and the technique--a questionnaire form. The material was subject to statistical analysis. It was confirmed that the staff of hospitals possessing the Quality Certificate discussed the diagnostic, therapeutic and nursing problems during the meetings of the therapeutic team significantly more often, compared to respondents from units without accreditation.
