INTERPROFESSIONAL COLLABORATION 2
Interprofessional Collaboration
By owing to the factors at play in medicine, it is prudent to avoid making any errors
or misjudgements to improve patient experiences and outcomes while avoiding healthcare
costs. Borrowing from other medical professionals is critical in handling a patient suffering
from illnesses like hypertension. I engaged a respiratory therapist (RT) by the name of Mr
Kirklin in an interview session. I did this to gather information about the extent to which
hypertension can lead to stroke in a patient. According to research conducted on older people
suffering from systolic hypertension, 11% of the group risk suffering from stroke (Brainin,
2013).
Mr Kirklin pointed out the many instances he's had to offer emergency care to
patients suffering from stroke, heart attacks and shock. He contends that hypertension is one
of the key causatives of stroke. In his explanation, he argues that when the blood vessels
suffer a strain resulting from high blood pressure, a clot may form inside. A clot inside a
blood vessel makes them narrower and stiffer and thus hampers blood flow leading to stroke
(CDC, 2021). The CDC lists hypertension as one of the leading causes of stroke, concurring
with Mr Kirklin's assessment.
The collaboration proved helpful in understanding that one illness may cause another
and hence the need to be well versed with all the probable scenarios to save lives. Medical
professionals should work together as a team to share the wealth of information and
experiences they have to achieve better patient outcomes.
