NURS FPX 6011 Assessment 1 Patient Centered Needs Assessment Student Name Capella University NURS-FPX6011 Evidence-Based Practice for Patient-Centered Care and Population Health Professor Name Submission Date   Patient-Centered Needs Assessment Needs assessment is a systematic process for determining the differences between the present situation and the desired future situation. A value-based framework, called patient-centered needs assessment, has become extremely valuable in the last few years for quality health outcomes. It seeks to enhance the health of low-income or under-resourced groups by placing the patient at the center and delivering better outcomes at lower rates (de Ridder et al., 2021). Several factors, such as low socioeconomic status, an abusive relationship, and firmly wrong beliefs about the use and adherence to antidepressants, as well as the absence of mental disorder awareness and negatively regulated behaviors, contribute to the difficulties in managing depression for Mrs. Ariq Damish. The assessment aims at addressing the significance of patient engagement and the impact of information and communication technology. Furthermore, strategic interventions to address cultural and linguistic barriers to appropriate healthcare and low risk of adverse outcomes were proposed in this paper. Scenario Mrs. Ariq Dimash is a 26-year-old female who reports a history of anxiety attacks, crying spells, and nervousness; severe episodic headache; forgetfulness; and diminished communication to the extent of nodding or one word in reply. She lives with her family and uses public transport for organizing her tasks. She is jobless and, after a few months, got into an abusive relationship. Furthermore, her family has no awareness of the extent of the depression, even though it was the worst that she had experienced, and they have no knowledge of the social issues surrounding mental illness and have been convinced that these were not the factors to warrant her seeking medication for her ongoing worst behavioral state, which prevented her from visiting health services. Importance of Addressing Patient Engagement Patient engagement has been one of the most important strategies that have been brought and executed in the healthcare industry in order to ensure that the treatment protocols are followed up on in a better way as well as enhance patients’ adherence to treatment, i.e., clinical care. Different efforts around the world have tried to promote a patient-centric culture whereby health services are supported by the needs and preferences of patients. In recent years, Marzban et al. (2022) have shown that health care service organizations are engaging patients in a range of activities such as research and quality improvement. There are numerous ethical calls for and economic and social advantages to patient involvement, such as increased self-esteem, trust, and a more efficient health care system. The study also found desirable findings regarding quality depression treatment decisions and quality healthcare, respectively, in the case of mental illnesses, including Mrs. Arq. Four benefits of patient engagement were positively mentioned by the study, namely: positive healthcare outcomes and self-efficacy, patient compliance, and return on investment. Furthermore, it improves healthcare treatment quality, patient health and satisfaction from treatment protocols as well as productivity of healthcare professionals. Potential Use and Impact of Information and Communication Technology Information and communication technology (ICT) tools are becoming more common with the advancement in awareness of healthcare for better quality outcomes. Newer studies by Fonseca & Osma. He founded in (2021) that assessment or monitoring of psychological services leads to better mental health through the use of information and communication technology. Psychological services delivered using ICT are programs in which the therapist interacts with the patient online using a web-based platform, the use of mobile apps, or video conferencing calling systems (telepsychology). A study conducted by Perez et al. (2022) proved that healthcare providers have shown exemplary uses and implementation of ICT, such as making every day work easier, making electronic healthcare records accessible to patients for better client-centered care, and assisting in client evaluation. Furthermore, it also includes strategic treatment planning as well as communication enhancement between patients and healthcare clinicians. Evidence by Fitzpatrick. (2023) demonstrated that digital communications help to improve consumer health literacy. This research revealed that mobile health apps, telemedicine, and online health information resources were digital communication tools for healthcare service promotion and digital literacy for patients. It also supports patient education, patient self-management, and self-empowerment probabilities. Furthermore, patient centered communication via digital means is maximizing opportunities for improved clinical decision-making, better treatments in healthcare, and effective communication between healthcare providers. Evaluation of Value and Relevance of the Technology Modalities Mrs. Ariq is an American female who belongs to black population, and an approach to value black population by their involvement in the process is an ethical, non-judgmental approach, and it is culturally sensitive to reduce health disparities. Hence, digital technology is an important strategy for enhancing the mental healthcare system as a whole. There are many standards for quality evaluation of assessment or monitoring psychological services through ICT. A study by Harvey et al. (2022) showed that there was a framework for evaluation and relevance of technology modalities, which consists of three components: verification, analytical validation, and clinical validation. This mechanism provides strong positive communication between the patient and the healthcare organization. It helps with patient-centric privacy checks that provide for the sharing of the required extent of data across an organization, in compliance with the associated regulations. Hickmann et al. (2022) reported an evidence-based study that a patient-centered approach makes patients more empowered for greater involvement. Basic mapping for patient-centered engagement for understanding and applying medical terms without regard for language or level of education (Hickmann et al., 2022). So, digital technology offers a well-structured delivery of assessments, leading to improved healthcare outcomes. Moreover, the convergence of digital technologies with mental health fills the gap in patient accessibility to medical healthcare facilities. As per the evidence from Tripathi et al. (2024), effective communication and uniform exchange of health information, or interoperability, is crucial for delivering quality patient-centric healthcare in the environment. For example, a study from Holmgren et al. (2023) reported that in some nations, Healthcare Information
