Shared goals are typically established through a process of collaborative discussions and assessments. Here are the steps usually involved:
1. Assessment: The healthcare team conducts a thorough assessment of the patient's current condition, including their medical history, present health status, and any other relevant factors. 2. Goal Setting: Based on the assessment, the team collectively sets achievable and measurable goals. This often involves input from the patient and their family to ensure that the goals align with the patient's values and preferences. 3. Planning: A detailed care plan is developed, outlining the steps needed to achieve the set goals. Responsibilities are assigned to different team members. 4. Implementation: The care plan is put into action. Continuous communication among team members is crucial during this phase. 5. Evaluation: The team regularly evaluates progress toward the goals and makes necessary adjustments to the care plan.
