AB KEY  CONCEPTSA  professional  patient  care  practice  is  built  on  three  essential  elements:  a  philosophy  of  practice,  a  patient  care  process,  and  a  practice  management  system.A  professional  patient  care  practice  is  predicated  on  a  patient-practitioner  relationship  established  through  respect,  trust,  and  effective  communication.  Patients,  and  when  appropriate  caregivers  and  family,  are  actively  engaged  in  decision  making.Adopting  a  uniform  patient  care  process—a  consistently  implemented  set  of  methods  and  procedures—serves  as  a  framework  for  each  patient  encounter,  increases  quality  and  accountability,  and  creates  shared  language  and  expectations.The  patient  care  process  includes  five  essential  steps:  collecting  subjective  and  objective  information  about  the  patient;  assessing  the  collected  data  to  identify  problems  and  set  priorities;  creating  an  individualized  care  plan  that  is  evidence-based  and  cost-effective;  implementing  the  care  plan;  and  monitoring  the  patient  over  time  during  follow-up  encounters  to  evaluate  the  effectiveness  of  the  plan  and  modify  it  as  needed.The  patient  care  process  is  supported  by  three  inter-related  elements:  communication,  collaboration,  and  documentation.  Interprofessional  teamwork  and  information  technology  facilitate  the  effective  and  efficient  delivery  of  care.A  practice  management  system  includes  the  infrastructure  to  deliver  care.  This  includes  physical  space,  documentation  systems,  payment  for  services,  and  qualified  support  personnel.
