Editorial Review
Product Description
The second edition of Putting Patients First showcases what Planetree facilities and the Planetree organization have learned about the commitments, conditions, practices, and policies that are needed to do more than give lip service to being--patient-centered.--It should be read by every student, nurse, physician, administrator, trustee, policy maker, and lay person who is committed to creating healing environments, holding facilities accountable for their rhetoric, and truly reforming health care.

Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5 Thorough. Very challenging for most healthcare leaders., 2008-01-13
This book is a thorough discussion of a highly successful philosophy of patient-centered care promoted and fine tuned by the Planetree Institute. It challenges a healthcare industry that is behind others in its lack of focus on the delivery of patient-centric care. It covers subjects from the nurturing aspects of food, recruitment and retention, and making a business case for patient centered care.

The Planetree Model has been around for several years, but I have yet to experience it first hand. Patient-centered care should always be a priority and not in competition with the fiscal responsibilities of an organization. I was mostly interested in inpatient settings, but found the other topics interesting.
