As care coordinators, nurses, and other medical professionals will offer obese hypertensive patients the encouragement and support, they need to take charge of their condition (Hansen et al., 2021). Also, healthcare professionals work together as care coordinators on a healthcare team to create a customized, preemptive care plan to manage a patient’s healthcare requirements. Also, healthcare professionals may employ telehealth to instruct patients on self-management techniques (Hansen et al., 2021).
Team-based care will be crucial to accomplish value-based care goals and providing a great patient experience. Team-based care recognizes that many interested stakeholders are treating a patient. To get the best possible care outcomes, they must also collaborate. Multidisciplinary team meetings are regular gatherings of medical practitioners from various specialties (Rollet et al., 2021). The objectives are to talk about the conditions and diagnoses of patients. Also, these sessions are intended to arrange their treatment programs following the most appropriate evidence-based guidelines. Hence, weekly team meetings with all significant stakeholders enhance patient outcomes and inter-professional communication (Rollet et al., 2021).
The systematic identification, evaluation, organization, and execution of actions to influence stakeholders are known as stakeholder engagement. A stakeholder engagement plan analyses each stakeholder’s demands. It is essential to address each stakeholder’s needs (Sperry & Jetter, 2019).
Nurses may apply Kurt Lewin’s change theory to drive change in practice and involve all the important stakeholders with an intervention strategy for obese hypertensive patients. According to the notion, leading change may be done in three simple steps: unfreezing, changing, and refreezing (McFarlan et al., 2019). The first step is finding the important stakeholders and gaining their support through team meetings. These team meetings are intended to discuss the objectives of developing intervention strategies and to share the requirements of all stakeholders for them to be adopted (McFarlan et al., 2019). The change phase comprises implementing change and educating patients about lifestyle changes. At the same time, the third stage refreezes mandates all relevant stakeholders to monitor patients’ compliance with the advised lifestyle changes (McFarlan et al., 2019).
Organizations must have a strong stakeholder engagement strategy in place if they want to comprehend and address valid stakeholder issues. A stakeholder engagement plan should always be created as the initial step (Boaz et al., 2018). A basic plan outlines the pertinent stakeholders, the necessity of involving them, the approach to applying them, and the objectives we must pursue. The stakeholders’ needs, interests, and views must always be respected (Boaz et al., 2018). That will significantly contribute to keeping them intrigued throughout. Making stakeholders aware of the change and its advantages and methods they may ask questions about is vital for communications and keeping stakeholders engaged (Boaz et al., 2018).
