The Importance Of Effective Interprofessional Care And Interprofessional Team Care Impacts The Patients

The difference between interdisciplinary teams and Interprofessional teams is that interdisciplinary team perform their work in a collaborative fashion. Each member of the team, while providing the group with the knowledge and skills of his or her disciplinary perspective, also strives to incorporate that perspective with those of others to create solutions to health care problems that transcend conventional, discipline-specific method, procedures, and techniques. Communication by far is essential to collaboration and interaction. However, Interprofessional teams has to do with learning together as a team. Their collaboration interaction is characterized by the integration as well as modification of different professions. By having basic knowledge and skills related to your own profession you can share your knowledge with others as they will do the

Interprofessional team collaboration for professional nurses is viewed as a method to improve the care and safety for patients. However, interprofessional team collaboration presents both advantages and challenges for nurses and other team members. One of the advantages is the coordination of care for the patient and the sharing of knowledge to improve the outcomes for the patient. Challenges for interprofessional team collaboration is: poor role-definition, miscommunication, conflict, lack of accountability for assignment of responsibilities and tasks (Reeves, 2012). This paper will discussion the role of a nurse on an interprofessional team and the challenges, why interprofessional teams promote patient safety, and strategies to promote success interprofessional teams.

Collaboration emanates from an understanding and appreciation of the roles and contributions that each discipline brings to the care delivery experience.” (American Association of Colleges of

The intent of interprofessional collaboration is one that will foster the safe practice of all health care professionals, and enables the achievement of better outcomes. Some outcomes needed for this particular situation would be as followed:

Interprofessional care consist of multiple health care professionals from different professions working together on the same collaborative team to provide the best possible health care to the patient to ensure the best outcome for the patient. A interprofessional team consist of any health care professionals, for example physicians, pharmacist, social workers, nurses, and physical therapist. Each professional has there own defined role and their strengths are optimized to provide the best care to the patient. In order for the team to work team members must respect and value other members opinions and ideas about decisions for the patient, even if you might disagree with another members opinion. For the best possible chance of achieving the best outcome for the patient, everyone on the team must collaborate together to help the patient. The Pharmacist 's role has evolved over the past years. Before, pharmacist used to just dispense the medicine the physicians prescribed. Now, pharmacist are a integral part of the interprofessional team. Pharmacist now go on rounds with the team, talk to patients one on one to discuss how to manage there disease, and many other things. Even though a pharmacist does much more then just dispense medicine, many patients and some professionals still think that 's all they do.

Zwarenstein et al (2007) designed and evaluated an intervention intended to improve interprofessional collaborative communication and patient-centred care. The intervention was aimed at the development of a hospital-based staff communication protocol designed to promote collaborative communication between healthcare professionals and ultimately, enhance patient-centred care within the team (Zwarentstein et al., 2007). The authors found that a substantial amount of interprofessional communication lacks three key core elements such as self-introduction, description of professional role, and solicitation of other professional perspectives (Zwarenstein et al, 2007). With these findings, the new protocol, based on the three identified core elements was designed to improve the overall culture of communication among healthcare providers.

Over the past ten weeks, I have developed a greater understanding of quality improvement initiatives and interprofessional care. I liked that the course focused both quality and interprofessional care.

Two topics I found interesting, that will benefit me professionally in the future, were the discussions regarding Quality Improvement Care Models and Interprofessional Collaboration. I learned about many different care models for quality improvement. The Champion Model was of particular interest, since this model supports informal leaders who a advocates for, and support evidence-based

I work as home health nurse. Working in the home health setting requires excellent communication and collaboration between all staff members that provide care to patients. When I first began working home health, I feel I was on my own because I very rarely travel to the office and most of my time is spent driving and in the patients’ homes. I was quick to realize that I am never alone working home health. I can honestly say my fellow co-workers are always available to answer questions and to offer assistance when needed.

It stressed the importance of inter-professional practice as an authentic tool for achieving good patient-focused health outcome.
