    When someone you love is hospitalised, it can be scary-even terrifying-for the patient and for family and friends. A hospital may seem like a foreign land. Sounds, smells, and the culture are unfamiliar; even the medical terminology sounds like a different language. Understanding the hospital environment and knowing how to navigate its complicated pathways can make you a strong champion for your loved one. You are as critical to your loved one's recovery as the doctors and nurses. Your role is different, but vital. In some cases, you can make the difference between life and death. Hospital Warrior de-mystifies the process and provides the tools, understanding and insight you need to get the best care for your loved one.

    Dorit describes the assessment and subsequent death of her much loved daughter-in-law who died during a psychotic episode having been discharged the previous evening. Her story raises a number of questions: How should families be included in making judgements and assessments about the patient and their well-being? What support do they need to care for a very distressed loved one? Why aren't written care and contingency plans provided to the patient and their family? What more needs to be done to ensure standard practices are in place to protect patients with psychosis?

    A brief, heartfelt piece presented purely from the harmed patient's perspective and urging those involved in making decisions about whether or not to investigate to consider the impact of a good investigation on the ability of the harmed patient and their family to heal... Well received on twitter and described by a number of patients as 'you've said what I feel'. A reminder that a crucial purpose of the investigation is to give a harmed patient and their family a full explanation to help them understand, process and share for learning their experience. All necessary to their recovery. All necessary to their own 'safety' following an incident (we know poor responses cause additional suffering to those already harmed). The author also highlighted (via twitter) how much of this blog relates to the needs of staff involved in incidents too...

    Patient-centeredness is central to healthcare. Hospitals should address patients’ unique needs to improve safety and quality. Patient engagement in healthcare, which may help prevent adverse events, can be approached as an independent patient safety practice (PSP) or as part of a multifactorial PSP.  This systematic review by Berger et al., published in BMJ Quality & Safety, examines how interventions encouraging this engagement have been implemented in controlled trials. It found that while patient engagement in safety is appealing, there is insufficient high-quality evidence informing real-world implementation. Further work is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions on patient and family engagement and clarify the added benefit of incorporating engagement in multifaceted approaches to improve patient safety endpoints. In addition, strategies to assess and overcome barriers to patients’ willingness to actively engage in their care should be investigated.

    In 2015, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) sponsored the development of a 'Guide to Improving Patient Safety in Primary Care Settings by Engaging Patients and Families'. One of the strategies introduced was a 'warm handoff' A warm handoff is a handoff conducted in person between two members of the health care team in front of the patient and family or caregiver. This video demonstrates warm handoffs in medical offices.

    Patients with delirium have changes in their thinking and are often confused and cannot pay attention. About half of patients in an intensive care unit (ICU) have delirium during their stay. Research has shown that patients with delirium are more likely to die or to have long-term brain problems, including posttraumatic stress disorder, depression and other mental health issues, than those without delirium. Although nurses and doctors have tools to measure delirium in the ICU, it can be hard to identify and, in some cases, may be missed. Family members may be the first to notice that their loved ones have changes in their thinking or cannot pay attention. There are tools called the Family Confusion Assessment Method (FAM-CAM) and Sour Seven questionnaire that can be used by family members to detect delirium. However, neither of these tools has been used in an ICU. This study from Krewulak et al., published in CmajOPEN, shows that these tools can be used by family members to measure delirium in the ICU. The results from this study could lead to a change in policy that would involve partnering with family members to improve the diagnosis of delirium in the ICU. In turn, this would improve patient and family care and outcomes in the ICU.

    The Dignity in Care campaign was launched in November 2006, and aimed to put dignity and respect at the heart of UK care services. The Dignity in Care campaign is led by the National Dignity Council, it operates as a charity, inspiring people to be part of a nationwide movement of champions, working individually and collectively to promote access to dignity as a human right for all.  Before the Dignity in Care campaign launched, numerous focus groups took place around he country to find out what Dignity in Care meant to people.

The challenge describes values and actions that high quality services that respect people's dignity.
