Serena, a 28-year-old Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA), is critical in providing essential hands-on care and patient support (Abrahamson et al., 2020). Her perspective on healthcare, deeply rooted in daily interactions, prioritizes meeting patients’ basic needs, such as bathing, dressing, feeding, and assisting with mobility. In addition to these responsibilities, Serena serves as a vital link between patients and the broader healthcare team, regularly communicating changes in patient conditions to facilitate seamless information flow (Nurhidayah et al., 2022). Serena’s perspective underscores the importance of compassionate and patient-centered care, acknowledging the profound impact of building strong rapport on patients’ overall experience and recovery.

From her vantage point, effective teamwork, involving collaboration with nurses, therapists, and other team members, is integral to providing comprehensive patient support (Bachynsky, 2020). Serena’s role significantly impacts patient outcomes through meticulous attention to their conditions and proactive communication with the healthcare team, leading to early identification of changes in health status and timely interventions (Burgener, 2020). Beyond physical care, Serena’s hands-on and supportive approach extends to providing emotional support and fostering a positive and healing environment that contributes to patients’ overall well-being. Her commitment to a holistic approach aligns with her dedication to positively impacting the lives of those under her care. How Healthcare Impact Patient Outcomes Discussion

In Foraker et al. (2021) research investigated how patient outcomes in a cardiac care unit were influenced by interdisciplinary collaboration. The team comprised registered nurses, certified nurse assistants, physical therapists, and dietitians. The study concentrated on introducing a collaborative care model featuring frequent team meetings, shared decision-making, and coordinated care plans. The results indicated a noteworthy decrease in patient complications, heightened patient satisfaction, and reduced hospital readmission rates. The findings underscored the critical role of team collaboration in elevating the overall quality of care for cardiac patients
