It is important to consult family, friends, carers and parents when planning person centred support. Every day you should work in partnership with those you support, their families, health professionals and your colleagues. You are working with them so that the individual can fulfil their dreams and ambitions, and so that you can assist them with their particular needs. Most family carers have a wealth of knowledge and experience about their family member. They know their likes and dislikes, their personal history and any particular medical needs. They are often more than happy to share what they know with new workers. A major aspect of partnership working is bringing people together in an atmosphere where this is simply the accepted way of

Collaboration involves negotiation and consensus seeking (Blais & Hayes, 2016). As the assistant director of nursing, I am a member of the Quality Improvement committee. Our purpose is to meet on a monthly basis to review feedbacks from patients regarding their home health aides. We need to know if the patient needs are being met, if they are being treated with respect and what improvements can be made to keep quality aides in order to ensure quality care of patients. Providing good care for home health patients with chronic conditions needs to be organized and coordinated (Barr & Ross, 2007).

Reflecting on the social change agents in action videos, the one I found particularly inspiring the “Power of Collaboration" by Marrian Kunth.

At USD, I am part of the Collaborate LLC. One of the benefits of this community is the opportunity to sit in on a class called ‘Civic Engagement in the US and South Africa’. Both this class and my own LLC class are focused on the concept of collaboration. This central theme was evident in the topics being taught, as well as the teaching style. The instructor fostered a very personal, yet difficult conversation with the students by asking follow up questions.

Teamwork and collaboration definitely go hand in hand in the field of nursing. I believe that successful collaboration requires relationships that are respectful and mutual when making joint decisions about patient centered care and other disciplines. This week, me and another student were partnered together to embark on our journey of community health at the Keene Senior Center. Our assigned task was to interview two or more people with a set of questions in order to get a better sense of what this community setting was all about. In order to do this, we had to have a good sense of teamwork in order to smoothly feed off each other during the interview. Before going in and introducing ourselves, we decided to collaborate and decide how to carry

Good morning. The customer has been offered the $750.00, but is now stating that there may be more product that we missed. I have not been able to find anything else, but she will be sending those invoices in. They also are requesting at least partial compensation on the original labor or the new labor. She is going to discuss with her partner and get back to me today with a dollar amount. Ms. Oh did state that she is willing to take off the reviews once an amicable settlement is reached as she is willing to work with us. I will update everyone once the customer reaches back out.
