Summary
Community matrons offer proactive support for long-term conditions in England. This study introduces a person-centred care planning framework to guide their practice and improve patient outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Health Services Research
- Nursing Practice
- Patient-Centred Care
Background:
- 15 million people in England have long-term conditions, necessitating improved health and social care.
- Government initiatives aim to enhance outcomes for vulnerable populations through proactive support and case management.
- Community matrons are key to delivering integrated care, with personalized care planning being crucial for success.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce a framework for person-centred care planning.
- To identify essential elements for community matrons to deliver person-centred care.
- To address the need for rigorous evaluation of new nursing roles and their impact on clinical and service outcomes.
Main Methods:
- Introduction of the McCormack and McCance (2006) person-centred care planning framework.
- Exploration of the necessary knowledge, skills, and attitudes for community matrons.
- Focus on patient perspectives and clinical/service outcomes.
Main Results:
- The framework provides a structured approach to person-centred care planning.
- Identifies key considerations for community matrons in delivering patient-centred care.
- Highlights the importance of evaluating new nursing roles for effectiveness.
Conclusions:
- Person-centred care planning is fundamental for effective community matron interventions.

01:21Planning Nursing Care I
The planning phase of the nursing process helps nurses set priorities, outline patient-centered goals and expected outcomes, and tailor nursing interventions to align with the aligned care plan. Through the planning phase, the nurse applies critical thinking skills to align and develop interventions according to the patient's needs. It provides continuity of care allowing patients to receive the maximum benefit from treatment. It serves as a pilot plan for allocating individual staff to a...
01:29Planning Nursing Care II
A nursing care plan can present in two forms: informal and formal. Informal is a care plan for the individual use of the nurse and goals they wish to accomplish during their shift. Informal care plans are not included in the patient chart. A formal nursing care plan is a written or computerized guide that organizes patient care. It is further subdivided into two: standardized and individualized care plans. Standardized care plans are pre-populated care plans for specific patient populations,...
01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about insulin...

01:25Role of Communication in the Nursing Process II: Planning and Implementation
Several factors are considered while creating a patient's care plan. Motivation is a factor in improving communication, and patients often require encouragement to try different approaches involving significant change. It is essential to involve the patient and family in decisions about the plan of care to determine whether the suggested methods are acceptable. Consider meeting critical comfort and safety needs before introducing new communication methods and techniques. Allow adequate time for...
01:15Nursing Implementation
Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.
