Capella University Interdisciplinary Collaboration Experience Reflection Paper
***NOTE: I am required to record a video for this assignment, which I will do on my own- however, I am unable during this time to complete this assessment as a whole due to working in times of crisis- I need all the help I can get!***The scenario I want to use from my personal experience is as follows and you can use your own words: In the nursing home, I used interproffesional collaboration with doctors, social workers, and other various members of the interdynamic team to determine if a patient was fit for hospice. As a nurse, assessment is always crucial in determining a patients needs especially when transitioning from palliative care to end of life care. As per my suggestion to the physician, he determined that hospice care would be the best option to keep this patient comfortable (The patient was 88 years old male with a history of end stage renal failure and lung cancer along with a past history of diabeters) due to the family's unwillingness to learn about hospice because of the denial of their family members decline, it was the job of the doctor to first speak to the patient about the transition and my job as a nurse to educate the family, provide compassion, information using brochures and pamplets so that they could go home and discuss these matters in private. Working with the pharmacist on getting the proper medications (morphine sublingual) and discontinuing other medications was also crucial toward the interproffesional dynamic because we work on an EMR system that correlates which medication is being delivered to which patient. Ultimately the family decided hospice care was the last step in keeping their family member comfortable during the end stages of life and these were some of the steps taken toward this outcome.For this assessment you will create a 5-10 minute video reflection on an experience in which you collaborated interprofessionally, as well as a brief discussion of an interprofessional collaboration scenario and how it could have been better approached.Interprofessional collaboration is a critical aspect of a nurse’s work. Through interprofessional collaboration, practitioners and patients share information and consider each other’s perspectives to better understand and address the many factors that contribute to health and well-being (Sullivan et al., 2015). Essentially, by collaborating, health care practitioners and patients can have better health outcomes. Nurses, who are often at the frontlines of interacting with various groups and records, are full partners in this approach to health care.Reflection is a key part of building interprofessional competence, as it allows you to look critically at experiences and actions through specific lenses. From the standpoint of interprofessional collaboration, reflection can help you consider potential reasons for and causes of people's actions and behaviors (Saunders et al., 2016). It also can provide opportunities to examine the roles team members adopted in a given situation as well as how the team could have worked more effectively.As you begin to prepare this assessment you are encouraged to complete the What is Reflective Practice? activity. The activity consists of five questions that will allow you the opportunity to practice self-reflection. The information gained from completing this formative will help with your success on the Collaboration and Leadership Reflection Video assessment. Completing formatives is also a way to demonstrate course engagementNote: The Example Kaltura Reflection demonstrates how to cite sources appropriately in an oral presentation/video. The Example Kaltura Reflection video is not a reflection on the Vila Health activity. Your reflection assessment will focus on both your professional experience and the Vila Health activity as described in the scenario.ReferencesSaunders, R., Singer, R., Dugmore, H., Seaman, K., & Lake, F.

Format reference list in current APA style.InstructionsUsing Kaltura, record a 5–10 minute video reflection on an interprofessional collaboration experience from your personal practice, proposing suggestions on how to improve the collaboration presented in the Vila Health: Collaboration for Change activity. Be sure that your assessment addresses the following criteria. Please study the scoring guide carefully so you will know what is needed for a distinguished score:Reflect on an interdisciplinary collaboration experience, noting ways in which it was successful and unsuccessful in achieving desired outcomes. Identify how poor collaboration can result in inefficient management of human and financial resources, citing supporting evidence from the literature.Identify best-practice leadership strategies from the literature that would improve an interdisciplinary team’s ability to achieve its goals, citing at least one author from the literature. Identify best-practice interdisciplinary collaboration strategies to help a team achieve its goals and work together, citing the work of at least one author.Communicate in a professional manner, is easily audible, and uses proper grammar. Format reference list in current APA style. You will need to relate an experience that you have had collaborating on a project. This could be at your current or former place of practice, or another relevant project that will enable you to address the requirements. In addition to describing your experience, you should explain aspects of the collaboration that helped the team make progress toward relevant goals or outcomes, as well as aspects of the collaboration that could have been improved.A simplified gap-analysis approach may be useful:What happened?What went well?What did not go well?What should have happened?After your personal reflection, examine the scenario in the Vila Health activity and discuss the ways in which the interdisciplinary team did not collaborate effectively and the negative implications for the human and financial resources of the interdisciplinary team and the organization as a whole.Building on this investigation, identify at least one leadership best practice or strategy that you believe would improve the team’s ability to achieve their goals. Be sure to identify the strategy and its source or author and provide a brief rationale for your choice of strategy.Additionally, identify at least one interdisciplinary collaboration best practice or strategy to help the team achieve its goals and work more effectively together. Again, identify the strategy, its source, and reasons why you think it will be effective.You are encouraged to integrate lessons learned from your self-reflection to support and enrich your discussion of the Vila Health activity.You are required to submit an APA-formatted reference list for any sources that you cited specifically in your video or used to inform your presentation.Additional RequirementsReferences: Cite at least 3 professional or scholarly sources of evidence to support the assertions you make in your video. Include additional properly cited references as necessary to support your statements.APA Reference Page: Submit a correctly formatted APA reference page that shows all the sources you used to create and deliver your video.*****THIS IS THE VITA HEALTH SCENARIO I ALSO NEED TO ADD INTO MY VIDEO***** https://media.capella.edu/CourseMedia/nurs4010Element16818/wrapper.asp
