...Discussion The broad topic addressed interprofessional collaboration between healthcare professions. Each reviewer has their own profession Respiratory Therapy, Nursing, and Diagnostic Sonography. We are individually putting emphasis on our chosen profession, I would consider that to be a limitation. Each of us has to focus on our own career path, my profession is Respiratory Therapy. I had to limit my sections to focus more on this field. Focusing on Respiratory Therapy also fits in with the category of being biased, but it was intentional. Many of the articles only picked up the keyword respiratory therapy and did not focus on collaboration between healthcare professionals. I had to stay away from the articles that were too narrow in the topic. Reading and narrowing down articles was the most time consuming part of writing this systematic review. When selecting my articles and trying to modify each search I noticed that there was only one article that was not english, based on this information I did not miss out on an non-english publications. The articles that were chosen fit best with this systematic review based on each study’s population, intervention, and outcome....

A nurse basic professional responsibility is to provide care and support to people who need helps to improve their health issues. Its professional responsibility is to provide nursing care and support to the people who have been suffering from deterioration of health. A traditional way of nursing is to just provide primary care and follow the order of the professional practitioner, but now new concept of therapeutic relationship and implementation of therapeutic process is evaluated (Fournier, 2000). Nursing practices includes variety of settings and these settings will affect the processes which are out of control over nurse’s influence. These processes may be government laws, policies, management decisions and orders of other professional practitioners. The code of ethics outlines the intention of professional nurse to accept the individual rights and respect these rights in medical practices. Such code of ethic for nurses may affect to fulfil their moral obligation and other ethical problems they may face during their professionalism. Nurses are encouraged to take part in discussion and take decision for their moral obligation which they are facing in taking care and supporting their patient. (Gelman, White, Carlson & Norman,...

...Enhanced interprofessional collaboration (IPC) is identified as an approach in which health care systems are transformed and addressing issues related to a shortage of health-care workers. As a result, Regan, Laschinger & Wong (2015) found that through the provision of effective organizational support, it is possible for IPC to be effectively promoted. The purpose of conducting this study was for the evaluation of the impact of professional nursing practice environments, authentic leadership, and structural empowerment on experienced nurses’ perceptions of interprofessional collaboration. A predictive non-experimental approach was employed to evaluate the impacts of authentic leadership, structural empowerment, and professional nursing practice settings on nurses perceived interprofessional...

...is more than treating an illness; rather it is focused on delivering quality patient care that is individualized to the needs of each patient. My philosophy of nursing incorporates the knowledge of medicine while combining it with relational, compassionate caring that respects the dignity of each patient. I believe nursing care should be holistic while honoring patient values. A crucial aspect of nursing is interprofessional relationships, and collaborative efforts among healthcare professionals promote quality patient care. My philosophy of nursing extends to my community in which health promotion is something I will continually strive for. Personal Philosophy of Nursing For as long as I can remember I have been overwhelmed with a longing desire to care for those in need, and I feel this ultimately led me to the career choice of nursing. I feel most fulfilled when I am serving and caring for others, and my personal nursing attitude is one that is centered on compassion and service. According to Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary (2012), a philosophy is “an analysis of the grounds of and concepts expressing fundamental beliefs,” and before entering to the profession of nursing, it is important to explore my personal values and principles that will guide my nursing practice. My philosophy of nursing incorporates the knowledge of medicine while combining it with relational, compassionate caring that respects the dignity of each patient. My philosophy is one that focuses on...

In 2014, Gaskin and Happell published a study to explore the way nursing researchers utilize factor analysis. The focus was on five areas of decisions that are commonly made when doing factor analysis: Sample size; choice between factor analysis and principal component analysis; numbers of factors to be retained; data extraction and method of factor rotation. In order to provide guidance and information to researchers, the authors reviewed the literature regarding the above areas of interest, assessed current and best practice for researchers and, provided recommendations...

...Running head: IMPROVING TEAM COLLABORATION April 9, 2015 Improving Team Collaboration As a home health care nurse multi-disciplinary collaboration regarding a specific patient can be very challenging. With the increasing number of complex patients, patients can have care provided from several different professionals with very different goals. These disciplines include: skilled nurse, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, medical social worker, and home health aide. The lack of consistent communication between health care providers can lead to poor outcomes, such a falls, decreased patient satisfaction, and unplanned hospitalizations. For example if a patient has a medication change causing weakness or unsteady gate that is not communicated to the therapist, the therapist may send patient to hospital concluding it is a functional change instead of a medication side effect. This is just one of many things that can occur when poor communication occurs within a multi-disciplinary team. As previously mentioned home health care has seen a significant growth of increasingly complex patients requiring multiple disciplines in the home. Each member of the healthcare team has patient centered goals. It is necessary for each discipline to be aware of the goals that each discipline is working on to form a seamless plan of care. Due to the increased complexity of the plan of care it is necessary for the team to meet via conference call or in person to collaborate...

...going my recent placement. This ward caters “step down” patients who are initially admitted to cardiac care unite, thus involvement of multidisciplinary team and interprofessional working is essential. The paper ‘Making a Difference’ Department of Health (1999) suggests that ‘effective care is the product of interprofessional working. Professionals working in collaboration provide care which is designed to meet the needs of the patient’ I shall use a model of reflection in order to describe the proposed change I have suggested. Reid (1993) suggests ‘that reflective practice is potentially is both, a way of learning and a mode of survival and development once formal education ceases’. I have chosen Gibbs model (1988) of reflection as it incorporates the following: description, feelings, evaluation, analysis, conclusion and an action plan thus Gibbs’ reflective cycle encourages me to think systematically about the phases of an experience and therefore I shall use all the headings to structure my reflection. Discussion under the sub-heading ‘analysis’ will include the process involved in proposing the change in the light of the PDSA cycle (see Appendix 2 ). A conclusion to the essay will then be given which will discuss the knowledge underpinning the reason for the change. I have also worked out a SWOT analysis and included service improvement activity notification form (see...

...This reflective account demonstrates an ability to critically reflect on experiences within my nurse training, particularly within my third and final year. The reflective model selected is Gibbs (1998) (appendix 1) which incorporates description, feelings, evaluation, analysis, conclusion and an action plan which is divided into sections for ease of reading. All names have been changed in accordance with the NMC (2008a) guidelines regarding confidentiality. This piece includes reflections on my own learning using the NMC proficiency, managing care. As this covers a vast array my focus is primarily on medicine management, managing risk and delegation. Description of events During placement within the Accident & Emergency (A&E) department I saw my paediatric mentor on three occasions, the remainder of the time I worked with adult trained staff. As a consequence of this when a child was admitted, I was given the responsibility of caring for them. For the duration of a particular shift I worked with Sue, an adult nurse. Sue recognised that I was competent in my practice as I had worked with her on previous occasions with adults and consequently praised me. Sue, qualified for over twenty years, indicated that she only knew the basics of children’s nursing and suggested that I probably had more knowledge of children than her. This comment left me unsure of her depth of knowledge of paediatric nursing and somewhat concerned me. During my shift, Jay, a two year old was admitted...

...coordinators were responsible for preparing and coordinating the ethical review applications and letters of support. The team decided to use the existing practices of community service providers. To facilitate referrals of participating patients, the team first identified the existing service pathways. The hospital medical director distributed an overview document to inform emergency department physicians of the project, and the clinical nurse specialist reviewed the referral process, protocols and documentation with nursing staff. ore than ever, health-care providers need to communicate with each other to stay informed about the services clients receive. Working in collaboration is essential to the delivery of effective, efficient and timely care (D'Amour, Ferrada-Videla, San Martin Rodriguez, & Beaulieu, 2005; Interprofessional Care Steering Committee, 2007). We all had roles on the Geriatric Emergency ManagementFalls Intervention Team (GEM-FIT) project, which was aimed at evaluating an alternative service-delivery pathway to reduce the number and consequences of falls in adults aged 65 and older who presented to an inner-city hospital emergency department. The project was based on the Falls Intervention Team (FIT) study, which had evaluated a best practice, multifactorial fall-prevention program for community-dwelling older adults (Baycrest Centre for...

...SYNTHESIS OF ADVANCED NURSING ROLES BROWN_K_W5A2_SU_NSG5000 Kerry Ann Brown South University Due to the changing health care environment, the nursing profession is currently in a process of evolution. Scopes of practice and role expansions are being prepared. Some of these roles are traditional, such as nurse practitioners who have been fighting for equality and recognition since the early 19th century. With the advent of technological advancements in health care new roles such as nurse informaticists, recognized as a specialty in the later part of the 20th century, are being put into practice and defined. More responsibilities are being given to the nursing profession due to its knowledge base within the constructs of organization, implementation, and evaluation skills with a human approach. During the context of this class much knowledge was gained in respect to the nurse practitioner (NP), nurse administrator, nurse educator, and nurse informaticist (nurse informatics specialist). Because health care is changing, the aforementioned roles are also evolving, this paper will explore the commonalities with each advance practice role and analyze the roles and contributions of the nurse informatics specialist. The nurse practitioner is a postgraduate prepared registered nurse, who has either a master’s degree or doctorate. Upon graduation, NPs possess a wealth of knowledge allowing them to independently manage direct clinical aspects of patient-centered holistic...
