ELDERLY HEALTH
2
Introduction
is the life-long illness that impacts the way the patient's body manage glucose, a type of
sugar, in the blood. Most individuals with the situation have type two. According to Nathan et al.
(2009), there are around 27 million individuals in the U.S. with this issue. This health issue is
one of the mutual non-communicable sicknesses of the 21st century. In 2007 the worldwide
burden of this disease was projected to be around 246 million individuals. The World Health
found that projected 7.1 million deaths could be caused due to high blood pressure, nearly 4.4
million expiries due to high cholesterol, and around 2.6 million deaths to increased body
weight (Chen, Magliano, & Zimmet, 2012). In this particular assessment, the seven
dimensions and healthcare model will be discussed.
Seven important dimensions of the patient-centered care approach
1. Respecting the patients’ values, choices, and expressed requirements
As discussed in the case study Mr. John is an old man facing issues related to his
health and failed to maintain his blood sugar. It is the right if the patient to be respected and
receiving a good health care service. Treating persons with admiration and in a way that
upholds their self-respect and establishes an understanding of their ethnic values is the key to
good health care. Keeping them knowledgeable about their disorder and including them in
decision making is another good practice (Kitson, Marshall, Bassett, & Zeitz, 2013). This
might help John to focus on the quality or excellence of life, which is exaggerated by his
sickness and treatment
2. Integration and Coordination of Care
