NMC's Guiding Principles of Patient Focused Care
- We remember that it's not about us. It's about the patients and families and we are "guest" in their lives.
- We remember that for patients, it's "Nothing about me, without me."
- We avoid separating the patient and family, unless the patient requests it or the law or medical care requires it.
- We share information with the patient and family as openly as the patient requests or the law allows.
- We work with patients to jointly define quality goals for their care.
- We partner with patients and families to set policies, design programs and establish priorities for improvement.
- It's the little things that count--BIG!!
