One of the changes that are occurring in healthcare recently is interprofessional collaboration. All of the staff members caring for the patients are starting to use a team approach to the delivery of care. Management is training staff to use interprofessional collaboration model for delivery of care. There are some things to consider when analyzing the interprofessional collaboration model. The teamwork model of interprofessional collaboration has benefits. The staff members, patients, and the overall healthcare organization all benefit from this model. When management is interviewing potential employee’s they are looking for desirable characteristics to add to the teamwork model. Management also uses strategies for working effectively as a team when working with and training team members. At times, there will be ethical considerations that need to be addressed. Also, how will a management team introduce interprofessional collaboration when it is not the current model being utilized currently? The benefits of interprofessional collaboration cross the lines for the staff member, patient and the health care organization. Each group has their own benefits from the teamwork. The pieces of the team bring the benefits together to create a successful teamwork model. Staff members have benefits...

...This essay will critically discuss how interprofessional communication can impact on care quality and service user’s safety. Interprofessional communication is important for our learning and professional development. It involves communication in various forms. Wright et al. (2012) suggest that communication is a process that involves a sender, a receiver, a message and a channel. The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC, 2015) code for professional standards of practice and behaviour for nurses and midwives stipulates that nurses must communicate with other professionals and service user in professional way that will not have a negative impact on the safety, outcome and experience of the service user. As a result of this, interprofessional...

...Healthcare is changing rapidly. Nurses are at the forefront of patient care. In order to deliver patient centered care, nurses should be involved in decision making. Leadership is required to make changes. They must collaborate with physicians and other healthcare providers in making changes starting at the bedside ( The United States Institute of Medicine and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation 2011). Striving for positions at the government levels will allow nurses voices to be heard. Many health organizations are moving from the authoritative leadership to a leadership style that allows open communication and staff involvement in decisions making. The United States Institute of Medicine and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (2011) indicate that in addition to knowledge and experiences, all nurses must develop leadership skills in order to fully collaborate with physicians and other health professionals to achieve positive outcomes. To improve patient outcome teamwork is the key word. A nurse manager can help create a positive culture by engaging all staff nurses to have a voice in...

...Interdisciplinary collaboration is an important concept to implement in the healthcare setting. It requires mutual trust from all members of the interprofessional team in order to achieve common goals, which should always be patient-centered. According to Yoder-Wise (2014), the interprofessional team can include nurses, physicians, dietitians, social workers, case managers, pharmacists, and physical therapists that must work together to achieve cost-effective care while achieving the highest quality of care in the healthcare setting. Successful collaboration can be achieved with continuous and open communication. The team at St. Rose Siena consists of nurses, physicians, case managers, physical therapists, and sometimes social workers. Last week, these healthcare professionals held a meeting on how to improve and optimize patient safety and satisfaction, discussing what methods have been effective in the past, and what can be improved for the future. These meetings occur once every month, but there is a team huddle that occurs daily. Week after week, I see effective and successful collaboration amongst the members of the interprofessional team. If there is a problem, such as miscommunication, it is addressed immediately. Any misconceptions are clarified and patient goals are reiterated. This demonstrates a mutual understanding to minimize any risk to deliver safe patient care. Although effective interdisciplinary collaboration seems simple to accomplish, trust and respect...

...Describe the factors that help or hinder person-centred care and interprofessional working in relation to a chosen incident. (Word Count 2,993) In this essay a consultation observed during a Primary Care placement will be described, with the aim of defining person centred care in relation to it. To protect confidentiality and in accordance with the Nursing and Midwifery Council’s code of conduct (NMC, 2008), the names of persons or places are not referred to. The roles and responsibilities of the professions involved, the importance and difficulties of interprofessional collaboration and the effects of this on person centred care will also be explored. A conclusion will be drawn as to whether the event provided a person centred approach. The observed consultation (Appendix 1) took place in an elderly care clinic held in a hospital outpatient department. Outpatients Clinics are provided by the local NHS Primary Care trust on a regular basis as part of ongoing care for clients. A consultant, a nurse, the client and her carer were present. The client had an appointment to review her ongoing treatment of Parkinson’s disease. A publication to support the National Framework for older people (Department of Health, 2001) regarding the implementation of medicines endorses the monitoring of treatment to ensure the medication remains appropriate and to raise awareness of any adverse effects. The lady was in her eighties, frail and hard of hearing. A carer accompanied her from...

...Personal Philosophy of Nursing Auburn University School of Nursing Abstract: This paper explores the personal nursing philosophy I plan to convey in my nursing career. I believe the nature of nursing is rooted in commitment to public service and the undeniable desire to help those in need. Nursing 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...

...Assessment Task 1 Reflection on Video Vignette At the first when the video started, I observed that the interprofessional communication between the paramedic staff and the nurse was really impressive, as they started by introducing themselves and the involved client who was on the site and it went to give all the information that has been received by the paramedic staff to the nurse who was actually going to look after the client subsequently. But suddenly after a little while, being a student of nursing my attention went towards the therapeutic communication done by the nurse in regards to her client in the video which was very remarkable and I thought it is very significant to observe this video as I was going to learn more about the therapeutic communication which is my chosen path for the future as I planned to be a healthcare professional. Initially, the nurse introduced herself and her roles to the client by lowering her body at client’s eye level which I thought was really well, then again acknowledging that her client could not verbally talk at that time, the nurse asked her client to nod her head for yes response and for the negative response the nurse asked her client to move her head side to side which I thought was fantastic as her client felt comfortable on this and the client nodded her head to nurse. Added to that, the nurse also gave all the information what she was going to do next and also she told her client that she was going to call the...

...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...

...Weller et al. (2014) highlighted that healthcare training is mostly discipline specific and there is usually very minimal education about or between other professions. However, for effective collaboration to occur, there is a need for joint education programmes (Illingworth and Chelvanayagam 2007), especially in the early stages of professional preparation (Department of Health 2001). Therefore, in line with the 2020 Workforce Vision to “work seamlessly with colleagues and partner organisations”, a strategy introduced in 2008 to strengthen interprofessional collaboration was to implement a common core curriculum, IPE, in higher education institutions (Trueland 2010). IPE is defined as “occasions when two or more professions learn from, with and about each other” (Herring et al. 2013) to attain mutual mutual understanding and respect for...

...My Leadership SMART Goal Megan Borrayo NR 447- RN Collaborative Healthcare Professor Amanda Denno When creating my leadership SMART goal, I assessed what I as a leader would like to focus on in the future as a potential manager and educator. According to Institute of Medicine’s quality initiative, there are five initiatives including patient-centered care and working in interdisciplinary and/or interprofessional teams. Of these, recognition of the importance of interprofessional teamwork has proven to be very important for me. For my SMART goal, I chose to focus on interprofessional communication as a means for enhanced patient care and quality. This goal will be specific to all those dealing with the patients care, from doctors all the way to Certified Nursing Assistants. This includes all specialties that are consulted to work with the patient (physical/occupational therapy, speech therapy, psychiatry, etc.). My GOAL is to improve communication within the team and with the patient by providing bedside rounding once per shift. This gives a chance for questions to be answered, both from staff and patient, concerns, and opportunities for suggestions on improvement of patient care. This will take place within the unit at the bedside of the patient. By educating staff of the importance of communication within the team and with the patient, hopefully, staff will be willing and helpful to assist in making shift-by-shift bedside rounding a norm within the unit. Daily bedside...

...leading causes of death in 2015 were heart disease and cancer at 25.8% and 22.5% respectively (New Jersey State Health Assessment Data [NJSHAD], 2018). So, what does this tell us? There is a high volume of chronic disease patients that may benefit from Hospice for end of life care. In 2015, 1, 381, 182 Medicare beneficiaries were enrolled in hospice (National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, 2016). Hospice was designed to improve the experience of dying for the patient with the help of interprofessional care. The design also included improving the healthcare costs associated with the end of life (Stevenson, 2012). Eligibility for hospice is based on a physician documented life expectancy of six months or less. There are four levels of care are covered under the Medicare benefit for hospice. These include in home care, general inpatient care which covers symptom management such as pain control, continuous care,...
