Enhancing Performance as Collaborators in Care Presentation

Question

As a leader in practice, you will use your gap analysis to provide a 12–15 slide recorded PowerPoint presentation on the critical importance of interprofessional collaboration for the provision of safe, high-quality coordinated care.

To gain help and support for your implementation of your project, it is important to guide the stakeholders through all the steps in the process. Providing the team with a detailed cohesive presentation will enhance their understanding and give a voice to any divergent opinions about the proposed changes. This type of engagement creates a platform of transparency about the coming changes needed for the improvement project. Fostering positive interprofessional communications with project stakeholders builds trust and understanding, which in turn leads to better health outcomes.  

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:

• Competency 1: Analyze clinical priorities for a specific population that can influence health outcomes in the care coordination process.

• Analyze steps to improve interprofessional collaboration in an evidence-based practice for population care.
• Competency 2: Evaluate potential services and resources available for specific populations that are a part of the care coordination process.

• Explain the educational services and resources selected for the population receiving care.
• Competency 3: Create an effective interprofessional collaboration strategy for improving population health care outcomes as a care coordination process.

• Summarize plans to collaborate and partner with interprofessional team members.
• Competency 4: Propose a care coordination process for a specific population using the scope and standards of practice for care coordination.

• Propose the outcomes of the new process for improved interprofessional collaboration.
• Use the scope and standards of practice for care coordination to describe any ethical considerations supporting change for the specific population with services and resources.
• Competency 5: Communicate effectively as a scholar-practitioner to inform best practice.

• Create a professional presentation that can be used to run a working session of an interprofessional team meeting.
• Write content clearly and logically, with correct use of grammar, punctuation, and mechanics.

As you read the resources for this assessment consider the collaboration, perspectives, and roles of stakeholder, the interprofessional team that are critical to developing, implementing, and sustaining outcomes for care coordination. Stakeholders—the team of interprofessionals—need to develop a shared meaning of how to enhance care coordination with clear communication, to be able to understand the processes of care coordination that they will have to provide. Think about the leader and professional practice it takes to actually coordinate and produce effective health care delivery and outcomes.
