💡 Big idea: Patient-centered care begins with reading clinical records as a human story, not just a list of deficits.

- • Tuesday in the rehab unit is about reading. Specifically, reading a patient record the way a clinician does: with attention to the person behind the data.
- • The record gives you a diagnosis, a list of functional limits, and a set of goals the patient stated. Your job is to hear all three.
- • Three recovery goals come out of this. They must be grounded in the record, not invented. One will become the focus of your Wednesday rehab plan.
- • This kind of patient-centered reading is required in every health science career and is tested in the medical-terminology and pathophysiology sections of the WebXam.
- 1Read the teacher notes on patient-centered care and reading clinical data with empathy.
- 2Review the assigned patient-portal record: injury, limits, and stated goals.
- 3Complete the PLTW online task on interpreting patient data.
- 4List three recovery goals the data and patient voice suggest.
- 5Submit your empathy notes and prioritized recovery-goal list.
- • You can extract recovery goals from a patient record.
- • You can describe patient needs with empathy.
- • A patient portal record includes diagnosis, current functional limitations, medications, and patient-stated goals. All four inform a rehab plan.
- • Empathic reading means distinguishing what the patient can no longer do from what they want to do again; the goal is restoration of meaningful function.
- • Patient rights include informed consent, the right to participate in care decisions, and the right to refuse treatment.
