Applying the Concepts of a Complex Adaptive System to Individual Patient Care
A complex adaptive system is a system consisting of a large number of individuals or individual parts who interact with one another and follow certain rules. This system is based on some factors, which include the biological aspects of humans, social aspects, environment aspects, and the needs of life (Butts & Rich, 2018). These aspects are important and must be considered in the provision of patient care by healthcare practitioners including the DNP-prepared nurses. These aspects must be analyzed and assessed to enable patients to understand their healthcare concerns (Butts & Rich, 2018).
The DNP-prepared nurse can help patients in decision-making on matters regarding their health and treatment procedures. This will generally enhance the treatment outcomes, as patients are able to have a positive impact on their treatment process (Butts & Rich, 2018). The complex adaptive system also increases the trust levels between the healthcare practitioners and their patients, which is important for a successful treatment outcome. The DNP-prepared nurse can apply the concepts of a complex adaptive system to individual patient by collaborating with other healthcare practitioners to improve the treatment and health status of patients (Butts & Rich, 2018). Through the interaction of healthcare practitioners, they can share medical experiences, knowledge, and skills to enable better provision of healthcare services to patients. By involving other healthcare leaders, the decision-making process can be improved impacting positively on the patient (Butts & Rich, 2018).

The DNP-prepared nurse can also apply the concepts of a complex adaptive system to individual patient through improved communication and a good relationship with patients (Butts & Rich, 2018). One of the concepts of the complex adaptive system is trust between the healthcare practitioner and the patient. This can be achieved through improved communication, which enables a good relationship between the nurse and the patient, which will enable a better decision-making process (Butts & Rich, 2018). The DNP-prepared nurse can also improve safety in the healthcare organization by taking leadership roles, which will improve patient care, and safety to other healthcare workers, which will result to overall improved healthcare delivery in the healthcare facility (Butts & Rich, 2018).
