Health Care Delivery, Patient Resources, and Community Reintegration

When providing health care services, clinicians should provide patient-centered and family-centered care. When providing care for medically complex patients, it is important to think about how health care teams are working together to care for patients. Health care providers need to think about how they can guide their patients to become more independent, have an improved quality of life, and have improved access to their homes and community environments when possible. Clinicians need to recognize the importance of caregivers and the burdens that are put on caregivers. Clinicians should provide support to caregivers whenever possible.
