Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
As a Nurse-Patient advocate in my company, I had the privilege of working closely with an elderly patient named Mr. Johnson. Mr. Johnson was 85 years old and had been admitted to the hospital due to complications from diabetes and a recent fall that resulted in a hip fracture. He also had a history of heart disease and hypertension, making his health situation quite complex.

Upon meeting Mr. Johnson and his family, I could sense their apprehension and concern about his well-being. They were overwhelmed by the medical jargon and the complexities of the healthcare system. As his patient advocate, my primary goal was to ensure that Mr. Johnson received the best possible care and that his voice was heard throughout the treatment process.

First, I spent time getting to know Mr. Johnson and understanding his medical history, preferences, and goals. I engaged in open and compassionate conversations with him and his family to address their questions and alleviate their fears. It was essential to establish trust and create a strong partnership with them.

I collaborated closely with the healthcare team, including physicians, specialists, therapists, and social workers, to ensure that Mr. Johnson's care plan was well-coordinated and tailored to his specific needs. I acted as a liaison between the patient, his family, and the medical staff, advocating for clear communication and transparency throughout his hospitalization.

One of the significant challenges was managing Mr. Johnson's pain and discomfort following his hip surgery. I worked closely with the pain management team to ensure that his pain was adequately addressed while minimizing the risk of complications from pain medications due to his pre-existing conditions.

As Mr. Johnson's hospital stay progressed, I provided regular updates to his family, explaining the treatment options, potential risks, and benefits, and involving them in the decision-making process. I ensured that they were well-informed and empowered to make decisions in the best interest of their loved one.

After his successful surgery and several weeks of rehabilitation, Mr. Johnson was finally discharged from the hospital. I continued to provide support during his transition to home care. I arranged for in-home nursing services, medical equipment, and physical therapy to facilitate his recovery and independence.

Throughout the entire journey, I witnessed the positive impact of patient advocacy. Mr. Johnson and his family expressed their gratitude for the support and guidance I provided, acknowledging that it helped them navigate the complex healthcare system and gave them peace of mind during a challenging time.

Mr. Johnson's case reinforced my commitment to patient advocacy, especially for the elderly and vulnerable populations. As a nurse-patient advocate in my business, I take pride in making a meaningful difference in the lives of patients and their families by ensuring they receive the best possible care, understanding their rights, and empowering them to be active participants in their healthcare decisions.
