Interprofessional Qualities

This would include physicians, nurses, directors, and any other support staff. Getting the input of coworkers can help find if the mission, vision, and values of the facility are correctly understood and to evaluate how they are received by the organizations staff. After completing this task, seeking input from those outsides of the facility should be received. This could contain input from the community, patients, family of those patients, or other facilities within the surrounding areas. After collecting the information from both, internal and external sources, the outcomes need to be evaluated to find mutual themes and then compare them to the existing values that the practice holds presently. Next, removing obsolete information and reports that presently do not line up with the organization will then permit the usage of the Teals process of refreshing the way the practice can keep up with current medicine. Customers and coworkers need to be able to see how every value is signified and how each value will line up with the practices mission and vision statement. The organization needs to continue to communicate the values constantly because it will allow the staff to have a better and more concise understanding of what they stand

According to Maguire (2002), “Group members must be at similar levels of ego strength or functionality.” The is based on the idea of group membership for a group for function properly.

The type of group for this proposal would be a reciprocal or mutual-aid group. This is a type of group that, while having a group facilitator, is more of a self-help group. The idea is for all of the group members to find the strength

A team is a type of organizational group with independent members. They share common goals and work together to meet these goals (Northouse, 2016). The organization where I work has teams at various levels for maximizing the success. These teams include, core teams, coordinating teams, patient aligned care team (PACT), contingency teams, ancillary teams, support and administration teams (Veterans Health Administration [VHA], 2015). Some of these teams have interdepartmental members while others have intradepartmental staff. Successful teams have a concrete blueprint and that contributes to their effective functioning. There are several factors that affect these teams irrespective of the level. The factors comprise the presence of a clear task, separation from non-team members, authority, and stability. The factors like working conditions, team process and bridging the gaps are concerns for the executive level. The complexity of the task, individual skills and their diverse specializations affect the selection of the team members. The team’s meaningful interactions decide their success. Independent teams can help promote friendly competition within the organization and lead to better staff performance. An efficient leader can design and launch an effective team through careful planning and selection of the right members. He/she keeps the factors that affect the success of the team in mind when designing the teams. The patient care units

Groups may be defined in many ways, indeed providing an absolute definition of a group, as with much of the theory around group work, is highly problematic and contestable. However for the purposes of discussing groupwork within a context of working with young people we may define a group as a small gathering of young people. Group work may simplistically be described as the study and application of the processes and outcomes experienced when a small group comes together.

In my NUR-301 Class, I had the opportunity to practice on Interprofessional Education. Our nursing student team was partnered with first year pharmacy school students to learn about each other professions and to study on how we could work in a team of healthcare professionals to attain a common goal. As this was my first time experience to meet other students from a different department of Notre Dame of Maryland University, I was not sure what to expect from our discussions. Even if I have some experiences working both in hospitals and in a pharmacy, I was no fully aware of the responsibilities of a pharmacist directly to the patient or to the healthcare field specialists.

A group should be small between five to nine persons, so that each one will be able to relate and engage every member in the group. The group is viewed as a system, the condition of any member affects the other (Fatout, 1992).

The High power/ Low stakes group exert siginficant influence over the system. This group’s decisions and inputs may be subject to outside influences and personl or other agendas. This group can control admissisons and contiued clinical opertion of the system. The health care leader must engage this group, seek their advice, and attempt to meet their needs . Reccomendations from this group must be viewed carefully. This group’s goals may not always fit the system’s missions. Meetng this groups demands will frequently require a compromize. This group will often be the health care leader’s most challanging group to deal with.

Decision making and problem solving for this group is determined by focusing on the patient and what’s in the best interest for that patient. Once the group has brainstormed various ideas regarding a solution to a problem, the group determines what the highest priority is for the patient. The interdisciplinary team arrives at a consensus through discussion and debate.

Group counseling may be adverted to as a course of counseling, which takes a group of people coming together under one or more trained therapists, who simultaneously facilitate them and promote them to help one another to overcome their challenges. The group members are usually peers who may not necessarily face the same problem, but their problems may be linked. According to Jacobs, Masson, Harvill and Schimmel (2012), all members in a counseling group wish and desire personal growth. This kind of therapy has been employed over the years and it has produced excellent results in the lives of the group members.

McCarthy & Hart's (2011) article pleaded for the incorporation of group work in health care settings. The premise for this argument suggested that current health care costs are very expensive and almost impractical because of these costs, and that health care was generally chaotic in applying precise and streamlined care. This systemic failure of something very important led these authors to explore the literature existent on group health care approaches and interjecting their own ideas into the discussion.

This chapter reviewed many different aspects of group work such as different processes and skills required to run several different groups. The groups discussed were open-ended group, groups hosted in residential settings, single-session groups, and large activity groups.

This assignment will aim to define what group work is, outline the history of group work, its advantages and disadvantages and the use of group for individuals suffering from ill mental health. The second part of this assignment will be a reflection that will outline the authors personal experience of participating in a group in the university setting and the challenges and growths associated with that. Human beings naturally form groups and are shaped by them. Usually beginning in the microcosm of the family and extending to larger societal and cultural groups.
