Person Centred Care Swan Hill District Health is committed to providing person centred care, this is care that respects & responds to the preferences, needs & values of the person. This relates to all people accessing our services, whether as a patient, resident, family member or out-patient/client. Person centered care is a partnership and collaboration in care and service provision between the health care worker or organisation and patients, family/carers and community members. It aims to ensure that patients are well informed about their condition and treatment plan and are involved in decisions regarding their care. Person centred care involves organisations caring for their staff. Staff who feel important and cared for are more able to care effectively for patients, clients and their families.
