Healing Hospital

Patient’s stay in the hospital can become a pleasant experience when nurses let them create their healing environment. Billadeau (2013) writes about her experience during her recovery at a skilled-care facility following a surgery to remove a malignant melanoma in her foot. She realized that, “the staff were all kind and wanted her to recover”…and “they commented on the uplifting music, and the nice lavender/lemon smell in our room””. This was a challenging but pleasant experience for her because “I focused on my own healing environment” (Billadeau, 2013).

Alvord uses her personal experiences of working as a Navajo surgeon to teach her readers the philosophies her people follow to heal. Her philosophy is that instead of looking at each patient as a mechanical system with each part separate, look at their mind, body and spirit as being connected. If one can do this, patient care will improve. She also touches upon being culturally competent in the work place by knowing your patient population’s beliefs on healing and health care. After reading her story, I believe that in order to be the best health care provider one must look into the spiritual aspects of their patients’ lives. As providers we must provide care using the biopsychosocial model of care and become knowledgeable on our patients beliefs. Like Alvord states within her story, we must walk in beauty, become harmoniously connected to those around us, and care for our patients in a positive

A healing hospital is a healing community providing radical loving care (Journal of Sacred Work, 2009) in a safe environment that focuses on human interaction, interpersonal caring and enhancing the wellbeing of patients, caregivers, and all other members of the healing community. While a healing hospital is, of course, dedicated to providing excellent medical care to its patients (Mercy Gilbert Medical Center, 2012), it is also dedicated to integrating work design and technology (Mercy Gilbert Medical Center, 2012), and ultimately to the overall wellness of every healing community member. Using physical healing, education and supportive human interaction, this care model seeks healing on physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels for everyone involved in the process (Zarren, n.d., pp. 1-2). The success of this model requires the cooperation of every

Healing hospitals require more than just patient care, they require love and compassion with not only a patient but there family as well. A healing physical environment starts with caring for the patients but is also affected by how healthcare staff interacts with families. They believe that by creating a loving, compassionate, and appealing environment it will help the patients and their families get through difficult situations. The three components of a healing hospital are as

The primary healing centre to close because of the movement in therapeutic treatment and open observation was Banstead Hospital in 1986, others took action accordingly throughout the following a quarter century, just a modest bunch staying open today. The restorative staffs at numerous healing facilities still stays in touch with their old patients to ensure that the courses of action are working for them. The healing centres themselves either stand vacant and abandoned, or have been wrecked and changed over to shoddy reasonable lodging, with just a couple of suggestions to the occupants of the

The last and most vital element of healing hospital is implementing a culture of Radical Loving Care. This philosophy of empathetic care was advocated by Erie chapman who is the leader of health care industry. The purpose of the philosophy is to take health care staffs back to their root and reminding them the reason why they went to health care (Eberst, 2008). This philosophy stimulates the healing of clients through holistic approach. It is very

This is very clear from the name itself. In the context of radical loving care the patient gets the loving care from all the caregivers. This makes the patient satisfied and shows the fulfillment of patient’s necessary. According to www.newsreview.com, “It brings tears to my eyes how well they treat you here, the Chico resident said, these are the most caring people I’ve ever seen” (Cantu, 2011). In the article the author explains how the loving care of the staff is given to their patients. Also, the loving care is very much related to the spirituality. Spirituality has a vital role in all of the three vital components of the healing hospital. Especially, the most important component of healing hospital, culture of radical loving care, has relationship to spirituality.

Healing Hospitals have specific components that comprise their makeup. They are” 1) A healing physical environment, 2) The integration of work design and technology. 3) A culture of radical loving care” (Mercy Gilbert Medical Center, n.d.). These three components intermingled with spiritualty makes up the basis for the healing hospital.

One of the main goals of healthcare facilities is to provide the patients with a “healing environment”. The goal of the healing environment is to remove the patient from all the toxic and hazards to give them time to heal. Three concepts that help creating a stable environment will be explain in this paper. These concepts are the seen environment, the unseen environment, and the storied environment.

When a patient enters the healthcare setting the primary focus is the process of helping the patient get better. Patient care has emerged into the healing hospital paradigm. This new focus is on patient care and not just the disease process. Healthcare organizations are now recognizing that the latest research demonstrates the benefits of a healing environment. Healthcare providers need to reach people on a personal level. The concept of the healing hospital paradigm research reveals that specific design changes in healthcare

A hospital is defined as a place where sick or injured people are given care or treatment and where children are often born (Hospital, n.d). They often provide a range of long-term care for mental health services, day surgeries, and rehab that is less intensive to a long-term care facility. Although hospitals today are used for clinical medicine, the history of the hospitals began as facilities that housed the poor and ill (Williams & Torrens, 2008). Long-term care typically requires assistance with activities of daily living and this is common in the elderly and disabled community. These facilities usually provide continuous care, restorative, and rehabilitation services. For example, if an individual just had knee surgery, they could benefit

Hospital patients are often fearful and confused and these feelings may impede recovery. Every effort should be made to make the hospital stay as unthreatening, comfortable, and stress-free as possible. The interior designer plays a major role in this effort to create a therapeutic environment. A hospital's interior design should be based on a comprehensive understanding of the facility's mission and its patient profile. The characteristics of the patient profile will determine the degree to which the interior design should address aging, loss of visual acuity, other physical and mental disabilities, and abusiveness (WBDG, 2010).

If one were asked to create a mental image of what came to mind when the thought of Healthcare, more often than not that person would envision the stereotypical white walls of a pristine hospital with bustling nurses, consulting physicians and patients in hospital rooms. This is a pretty widely thought of construct for healthcare. This paper’s intent is to thoroughly inform, analyze this setting of healthcare. More specifically the origin of the hospital setting and how this system came to be, also how all of the individual healthcare professionals assimilate together to create one organized and efficient staff to run the facility, and lastly how this facility preforms and by which guidelines it must follow and their driving factors that make
