For this assessment you will create a 2-4 page plan proposal for an interprofessional team to collaborate and work toward driving improvements in the organizational issue you identified in the second assessment.The health care industry is always striving to improve patient outcomes and attain organizational goals. Nurses can play a critical role in achieving these goals; one way to encourage nurse participation in larger organizational efforts is to create a culture of ownership and shared responsibility (Berkow et al., 2012). Participation in interdisciplinary teams can also offer nurses opportunities to share their expertise and leadership skills, fostering a sense of ownership and collegiality.You are encouraged to complete the Budgeting for Nurses activity before you develop the plan proposal. The activity consists of seven questions that will allow you the opportunity to check your knowledge of budgeting basics and as well as the value of financial resource management. The information gained from completing this formative will promote success with the Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal. Completing this activity also demonstrates your engagement in the course, requires just a few minutes of your time, and is not graded.Demonstration of ProficiencyCompetency 1: Explain strategies for managing human and financial resources to promote organizational health. Explain organizational resources, including a financial budget, needed for the plan to be a success and the impacts on those resources if nothing is done, related to the improvements sought by the plan.Competency 2: Explain how interdisciplinary collaboration can be used to achieve desired patient and systems outcomes. Describe an objective and predictions for an evidence-based interdisciplinary plan to achieve a specific objective related to improving patient or organizational outcomes.Explain the collaboration needed by an interdisciplinary team to improve the likelihood of achieving the plan’s objective. Include best practices of interdisciplinary collaboration from the literature.Competency 4: Explain how change management theories and leadership strategies can enable interdisciplinary teams to achieve specific organizational goals. Explain a change theory and a leadership strategy, supported by relevant evidence, that are most likely to help an interdisciplinary team succeed in collaborating and implementing, or creating buy-in for, the project plan.Competency 5: Apply professional, scholarly, evidence-based communication strategies to impact patient, interdisciplinary team, and systems outcomes. Communicate the interdisciplinary plan with writing that is clear, logically organized, and professional, with correct grammar and spelling, using current APA style.ReferenceBerkow, S., Workman, J., Aronson, S., Stewart, J., Virkstis, K., & Kahn, M. (2012). Strengthening frontline nurse investment in organizational goals. JONA: The Journal of Nursing Administration, 42(3), 165–169.Professional ContextThis assessment will allow you to describe a plan proposal that includes an analysis of best practices of interprofessional collaboration, change theory, leadership strategies, and organizational resources with a financial budget that can be used to solve the problem identified through the interview you conducted in the prior assessment.ScenarioHaving reviewed the information gleaned from your professional interview and identified the issue, you will determine and present an objective for an interdisciplinary intervention to address the issue.Note: You will not be expected to implement the plan during this course. However, the plan should be evidence-based and realistic within the context of the issue and your interviewee's organization.InstructionsFor this assessment, use the context of the organization where you conducted your interview to develop a viable plan for an interdisciplinary team to address the issue you identified. Define a specific patient or organizational outcome or objective based on the information gathered in your interview.The goal of this assessment is to clearly lay out the improvement objective for your planned interdisciplinary intervention of the issue you identified. Additionally, be sure to further build on the leadership, change, and collaboration research you completed in the previous assessment. Look for specific, real-world ways in which those strategies and best practices could be applied to encourage buy-in for the plan or facilitate the implementation of the plan for the best possible outcome.Using the Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal Template [DOCX] will help you stay organized and concise. As you complete each section of the template, make sure you apply APA format to in-text citations for the evidence and best practices that inform your plan, as well as the reference list at the end.Additionally, be sure that your plan addresses the following, which corresponds to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Please study the scoring guide carefully so you understand what is needed for a distinguished score.Describe an objective and predictions for an evidence-based interdisciplinary plan to achieve a specific goal related to improving patient or organizational outcomes.Explain a change theory and a leadership strategy, supported by relevant evidence, that is most likely to help an interdisciplinary team succeed in collaborating and implementing, or creating buy-in for, the project plan.Explain the collaboration needed by an interdisciplinary team to improve the likelihood of achieving the plan’s objective.

Part 1: Description of Adverse Event (Complete Part 1 of the Adverse Event Template download) Medication error Patient falls Post-operative hemorrhage Completing the template: Adverse Event Identify the chosen event. Create a scenario based on your chosen event. Discuss the incident and what happened. Identify the health care professionals involved. Explain the health care professional’s role in the incident. Historical Background Discuss the prevalence of the adverse event including historical information (i.e., how often this type of event occurs and prevention methods used by the industry). Legal and Accrediting Agency Requirements Address legal ramifications and accreditation agency requirements regarding the adverse event. CQI Team and Communication Identify the CQI team members. Based on the members you chose: Explain how their role within the hospital would benefit your team in identifying and analyzing the cause of the adverse event. Discuss issues that could arise between the team members when attempting to develop an improvement plan. Describe the steps you would take as the CQI team lead to make sure that everyone is able to communicate their opinions and recommendations. Describe barriers or conflicts that could occur within your team regarding effective communication. Operational or Safety Processes Discuss at least two operational and safety processes that you would recommend to the team to avoid future events from occurring. Explain the rationale for your recommendations. Impact of Event Discuss the impact on the hospital if the events continue to occur. Discuss the impact to the patients if the events continue to occur. Note: The number of beds and operating rooms increased from 2017 to 2018. Part 2: Graph the Data (Complete Part 2 of the Adverse Event Template download) Once you choose your adverse event, graph the data from the chart above. You will graph Column A and B against the chosen event (i.e., number of medication errors, number of patient falls, or number of post-operative hemorrhages). For example, if I were to choose medication errors, I would enter the details from column A, B, and C. Once your graph is complete, copy/paste it in the space indicated within the template. Include an analysis of the data within the spaces indicated in the template: Discuss the frequency of the adverse event as compared to the increase or decrease of patient discharges. Analyze the data (what is the data telling you?). Identify the possible factors, in your opinion, that could be attributed to the change. Part 3: Create the CQI tool (Complete Part 3 of the Adverse Event Template download)   Choose one of the CQI Tools listed below that best aligns with your chosen Adverse Event. Each of the tools listed below are hyperlinked to the Institute for Health Care Improvement website, which discusses and illustrates examples of each type of tool. Fishbone (Cause and Effect) Diagram (Links to an external site.) Flowchart (Links to an external site.) Pareto Chart (Links to an external site.) Next, you will be responsible for creating the CQI Tool, completing the tool, taking a screenshot, and copying/pasting the screenshot into the space indicated within the Adverse Event Template download. If you are unfamiliar with these tools, please refer to the recommended readings, specifically the Siriwardena (2009) article from Week 2, Using Quality Improvement Methods for Evaluating Health Care download. Part 4: Future Prevention (Complete Part 4 of the Adverse Event Template download) After describing the event in Part 1, using a Graph in Part 2 and CQI tool in Part 3, you will apply the PDSA model in Part 4 to summarize the process and steps that your team would recommend to the CEO to prevent this adverse event from reoccurring. Respond to the items in Part 4 of the template by including the following: Plan Identify the problem that caused the adverse event/ Identify your objective. Identify the team members that will assist in the development of a plan for improvement. Describe how you would communicate the plan to the stakeholders. Discuss the reasons for collecting the data associated with the chosen scenario. Identify where you will pilot the new plan of action. Identify who, what, or why for your pilot of the improvement plan. (When you implement any new plan of action in a hospital setting, you will do a pilot of the new plan in a small, targeted area or department. For example, if you chose medication errors, a group of patients will be on the same floor [e.g., medical unit, cardiac unit, etc.]. If you chose patient falls, the patients will have the same diagnosis [e.g., hip replacement, etc.]. If you chose post-operative hemorrhage, the patients will have the same type of surgical procedure [e.g., abdominal surgeries, etc.].) Do Develop three possible solutions to the problem. Select one of the possible solutions to implement in the pilot phase. Discuss the result of the pilot (create your own scenario). Explain in detail the methods utilized to communicate the improvement process to the area chosen for the pilot phase. Study Summarize the data collected. Discuss how you would measure whether the pilot solution was effective. List observations. Discuss any problems that may have occurred in your scenario. Discuss any communication issues. Compare your objective in the Plan phase to that of the actual pilot result. Discuss what needs to be revised in your improvement plan to meet your objective. Act Discuss your revised plan. Describe how you are going to implement the plan hospital-wide. Describe how you will continually monitor the improvement plan to ensure sustained success.
