How can patient advocates manage multiple conflicts at once?

Indian Supreme Court has consistently held starting from Smira Kohli vs Dr. Prabha Manchanda [( Civil Appeal No. 1949 of 2004)] etc. specifically that Consent of Patient and/or Patient party should be Informed Consent. More so, where Patient is an adult and is in fit state of mind, Consent should be taken from him/her alone. Consent must be done on the basis of an explanation by a Clinician. Thus, medical professionals particularly Doctors in India faces mammoth tasks to manage multiple conflicts at once to balance Patient's interests and Hospital's commercial goals and in the process, it is the Doctor who has to strike a balance to keep up professional ethics since he/she has taken Hippocratic Oath of serving the Patient selflessly.

In South Africa and Namibia the patients wishes are the only wishes that can be honoured if they are mentally competent. Treatment of a patient that is mentally competent may not be shared with family without implicit permission from the patient. Conflicts are common though as some patients family cause unnecessary delays in treatment and can lead to worsen the condition. So these conflicts require attention to detail, listening, empathy, but remain advocate to the patients needs and not giving in to unreasonable or unsafe decisions.

Para gerenciar eficientemente vários conflitos simultaneamente, é crucial iniciar o processo identificando as fontes e causas de cada situa??o conflituosa, este primeiro passo desempenha um papel fundamental na cria??o de estratégias de resolu??o eficazes, a diversidade de conflitos na área da saúde é vasta, indo desde desacordos explícitos até tens?es mais sutis entre as partes envolvidas.

Prioritization is the key to managing multiple conflicts at one time. For example, if a patient is having these issues all at once. Assess what needs can be addressed first in order to course correct the problem. Make the patient feel heard , and assure them that they are your number one priority, helping them get to a place the where the situation can be managed efficiently and correctly. Depending on the situation this might include correspondents to others on your team. But, always make the patient feel like their concerns are yours as well.

Managing multiple conflicts at once is a critical aspect of patient advocacy.The initial step is to identify the Conflicts: Is it a disagreement between family members about care decisions, or between the patient and the healthcare team about treatment options? and start by prioritising them based on how directly they affect patient care and outcomes. Addressing the most critical issues first can often alleviate smaller, related conflicts. Keeping in mind that the patient’s best interests are always at the forefront.

In my experience, ultimately , patients need to be heard and understood, whether in-person or via video. Technology doesn’t need to undermine our ability to engage on a personal level. Instead, I’ve learned that it can be a tool to enhance our ability to connect with patients.At the commencement of the virtual consultation, it is imperative to ask about the patients' objectives, preferences, and priorities. This approach not only fosters a strong rapport but also ensures that the virtual interaction is centered around the patient's requirements. Adopt the practice of active listening by reflecting on their statements verbally. Seek clarity by posing questions and refrain from interjecting while they are articulating their thoughts.

Clear, empathetic communication is the key. Keep the lines of communication open with all parties involved. This might involve facilitating meetings, mediating discussions, or providing regular updates.

Communication can often be brought forth in a vague manner. Your communication with all parties is to make it succinct. Listen respectfully and ask "so what I'm hearing is ABC, is that correct?" so uit can make remove the smoke shroud and get to the exact concerns. This will also clarify the picture to those you need to communicate with. Never answer vague questions from lawyers, unsure you get succinct requests that are not open to misinterpretation.

When navigating competing challenges, prioritization is key. Prioritize based on health and safety implications of the conflicts at hand. Acknowledge your capacity as an individual and strategize to manage a multitude of priorities. When faced with several high-priority tasks, particularly those impacting the well-being of clients, consider delegating to peers. Mastering the art of prioritization and consistently reassessing ensures the ability to meet competing needs.

Training in coaching and counselling as well as life coaching can prove to be a great asset. When I'm overwhelmed, like yesterday, I sent a message to a trusted outside party. The person said that they tired of the conflict and dint want to get involved in the two parties issues with each other. But the way he said it ignited the answer I was needing to approach the situation. So by him telling me he won't give advice or rather doesn't want to he still inadvertently have the most sage advice just because I ensured I was listening. So sometimes when the colleague doesn't have an answer, they may well be answering you with a new perspective to think about!

The dimension of patient safety is intrinsically linked to the quality of healthcare. Educational processes must make it clear that safe care alone cannot be said to be quality care. It is not enough to provide safe care if it is outdated, ignores patient preferences, underestimates the vulnerabilities of certain groups, is wasteful or inadequate in terms of timeliness. Ultimately, it should be emphasized that a culture of patient safety is taking on a prominent position in health systems globally, and the main way to build, consolidate and grow it is through educational processes.
