Personalized patient care (PPC), individualized patient care (IPC), customized patient care, and patient-centric care are different names for the same thing.<\/p>\n

What is personalized patient care (PPC)?<\/h2>\n

This latest trend in the nursing industry refers to nursing care tailored to meet individual needs and preferences. IPC is a major service coming to society and is growing rapidly. PPC or IPC means patients and\/or their relatives have choice and control over how nursing care is planned and delivered. It is based on ‘what matters<\/em>‘ to patients and their individual needs and strengths.<\/p>\n

The new nursing care system works with the expertise, potential and competence of nurses who deliver care to patients, people, families and communities for better outcomes and experiences.

Each patient is unique and needs to be assessed for individuality, preferences, cultural traditions, spiritual beliefs and socioeconomic conditions with a holistic approach to planning and providing quality nursing care. The IPC plan should be developed to treat the patient, ensuring that psychological and social needs are met in addition to medical treatment.<\/p>\n

IPC is based on a systems approach to patient care, in which nursing and allied services, including health, society, public health, doctors and other associated services, are integrated around the patients.<\/p>\n

Facilities like music and art therapy, pet therapy, naturopathy, meditation rooms, natural light rooms, healing gardens and other supportive programs are created for patients and their families, and communities. These spaces provide positive energy, low levels of noise, comfortable furniture, cleanliness, privacy and space for family and visitors.<\/p>\n
