Nurses work in interprofessional teams to provide health care to patients and families. Differences in how health care professionals collaborate and communicate may lead to medical errors or sub-optimal patient care. Learning how to effectively collaborate and communicate in interprofessional teams is essential to provide optimal patient care. Directions: View the Johnson & Johnson podcast entitled, "What Ebola Taught Us About Collaboration and Communication." You may access the podcasts (https://nursing.jnj.com/see-you-now-podcast/rebroadcast-what-ebola-taught-us-about-collaboration-and-communication) here (https://nursing.jnj.com/see-you-now-podcast) or through Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, or Stitcher. (https://nursing.jnj.com/see-you-now-podcast/rebroadcast-what-ebola-taught-us-about-collaboration-and-communication) Reflect on your experiences working with members of the Interprofessional team as a Registered Nurse or as a Nursing Student. If you do not have experience working in a health care environment, you may discuss another example of working in a team environment. Write a paper that is 2 - 3 pages in length (excluding the student title page and reference list). The paper should address the following elements: Write 1 - 2 paragraphs describing an example of a misunderstanding or negative experience you had communicating with another discipline/provider in your practice as a Registered Nurse or as a Nursing Student. (i.e. physicians, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, physical therapists, etc.) Write 1 - 2 paragraphs discussing how differences in the background (such as educational training, the perspective of the patient, experience, or other factors) between you and the other person played a role in the misunderstanding. Write 1 - 2 paragraphs discussing what you could have done differently in the situation. How could the guiding principles identified by the podcast (flattening the hierarchy, valuing the importance of every team member, creating a no-blame environment within the team, creating a safe care environment, ownership of care environment, and communication within the team) be applied to this situation? Write 1 - 2 paragraphs describing how you will apply what you've learned in this module to your current or future nursing practice. Include an introductory paragraph. Support your ideas with evidence from the module learning materials or other references. Follow APA Style Requirements for Writing Style, Mechanics of Style, Headings (Level 1), Margins (1 inch), Font (11 or 12), Line Spacing (double spaced), In-text citations, Student Title Page, and a Reference List. Submit the assignment as a word document or a pdf. Evaluation: See grading rubric for evaluation criteria. Rubric Module 6: Short Paper: Interprofessionalism Criteria Example - Misunderstanding in an IP team * Wrote 1 - 2 paragraphs describing an example of a misunderstanding or negative experience you had communicating with another discipline/provider in your practice as a Registered Nurse or as a Nursing Student. (i.e. physicians, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, physical therapists, etc.) Differences in Background * Wrote 1 - 2 paragraphs discussing how differences in the background (such as educational training, the perspective of the patient, experience, or other factors) between you and the other person played a role in the misunderstanding. Done differently? Application of guiding principles * Wrote 1 - 2 paragraphs discussing what you could have done differently in the situation. How could the guiding principles identified by the podcast (flattening the hierarchy, valuing the importance of every team member, creating a no-blame environment within the team, creating a safe care environment, ownership of care environment, and communication within the team) be applied to this situation? Application to practice * Wrote 1 - 2 paragraphs describing how you will apply what you've learned in this module to your current or future nursing practice. APA Writing Style and Mechanics of Style * Adhered to APA Style requirements for Writing Style and Grammar (Chapter 4) * Adhered to APA Style requirements for Mechanics of Style (Chapter 6) * Included an Introductory paragraph. APA Format Student Title Page See Section 2.3 APA Manual Required elements: Title of the paper, Name of each author of the paper, the affiliation for each author (university attended including the name of the department or division), course number and name, instructor name (Dr. or Professor last name), assignment due date (month, date, year format). See figure 2.2 Sample Student Title Page on p. 32 of the APA Manual (7th ed). APA Format – Headings, Margins, Font, Line Spacing Used Level 1 Headings to organize sections of the paper (section 2.27). May use Level 2 Headings (Optional). Used 1-inch Margins (section 2.22). Used size 11 or 12 Font (section 2.19). The student title page, text, and reference list are double-spaced (section 2.21). APA Format - In-text references and reference list * Correctly formatted in-text citations for paraphrased and quoted works using the author-date citation system, parenthetical or narrative citations, and included a page number or location for quoted works (Chapter 8). • Correctly formatted the reference list and ensured that in-text citations match the reference list (Chapter 9). Module 6: Learning Activities As you reflect upon the learning activities for this module, think about your own experiences in health care, whether it is as a student or RN, and consider how reliant the patient was on having their care team work together collaboratively. Ponder these questions: Golom & Schreck (2018) explored how systems, organizations, and educational programs limit or enhance interprofessional collaboration and communication. What other barriers do you see to the ideal image of what interprofessional practice should look like? How can you intentionally try to improve working on an interprofessional team? George & Quatrara (2018) examine the effects of an hour-long interprofessional simulation training to increase knowledge and teamwork skills. Does your current place of employment have any interprofessional training? Can you identify areas in your practice where this could be implemented? Did you have any formal interprofessional education in nursing school? Were there any clinical interprofessional experiences? Think of interprofessional collaboration that you do now at your current position. How could this be improved? Read: Interprofessional Education Collaborative. (2016).
