You will identify an issue from the interview that could be improved with an interdisciplinary approach, and review best practices and evidence to address the issue.

For this assessment, you will create a 2-4 page report on an
interview you have conducted with a health care professional. You will
identify an issue from the interview that could be improved with an
interdisciplinary approach, and review best practices and evidence to
address the issue.

As a baccalaureate-prepared nurse, your participation and leadership
in interdisciplinary teams will be vital to the health outcomes for your
patients and organization. One way to approach designing an improvement
project is to use the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle. The Institute for
Healthcare Improvement describes it thus:

The Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle is shorthand for testing a change
in the real work setting—by planning it, trying it, observing the
results, and acting on what is learned. This is the scientific method
adapted for action-oriented learning…Essentially, the PDSA cycle helps
you test out change ideas on a smaller scale before evaluating the
results and making adjustments before potentially launching into a
somewhat larger scale project (n.d.).   

You might also recognize that the PDSA cycle resembles the nursing
process. The benefit of gaining experience with this model of project
design is that it provides nurses with an opportunity to ideate and lead
improvements. For this assessment, you will not be implementing all of
the PDSA cycle. Instead, you are being asked to interview a health care
professional of your choice to determine what kind of interdisciplinary
problem he or she is experiencing or has experienced in the workplace.
This interview, in Assessment 2, will inform the research that you will
conduct to propose a plan for interdisciplinary collaboration in
Assessment 3.

Professional Context

This assessment will introduce the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) Model to
create change in an organization. By interviewing a colleague of your
choice, you will begin gathering information about an interprofessional
collaboration problem that your colleague is experiencing or has
experienced. You will identify a change theory and leadership strategies
to help solve this problem.

Scenario

This assessment is the first of three related assessments in which
you will gather interview information (Assessment 2); design a proposal
for interdisciplinary problem-solving, (Assessment 3); and report on how
an interdisciplinary improvement plan could be implemented in a place
of practice (Assessment 4). At the end of the course, your interviewee
will have a proposal plan based on the PDSA cycle that he or she could
present to stakeholders to address an interdisciplinary problem in the
workplace.

For this assessment, you will need to interview a health care
professional such as a fellow learner, nursing colleague, administrator,
business partner, or another appropriate person who could provide you
with sufficient information regarding an organizational problem that he
or she is experiencing or has experienced, or an area where they are
seeking improvements. Consult the Interview Guide (attached) for an outline of how to prepare and the types of information you will need to complete this project successfully.

Remember: this is just the first in a series of three assessments.

Instructions

For this assessment, you will report on the information that you
collected in your interview, analyzing the interview data and
identifying a past or current issue that would benefit from an
interdisciplinary approach. This could be an issue that has not been
addressed by an interdisciplinary approach or one that could benefit
from improvements related to the interdisciplinary approach currently
being used. Additionally, you will start laying the foundation for your
Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal (Assessment 3) by researching potential
change theories, leadership strategies, and collaboration approaches
that could be relevant to issue you have identified.

When submitting your plan, use the Interview and Issue Identification Template
(attached), which will help you to stay organized and concise. As you
complete the template, make sure you use APA format for in-text
citations for the evidence and best practices that are informing your
plan, as well as for the reference list at the end.

Additionally, be sure to address the following, which corresponds to
the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Please study the scoring
guide carefully so you understand what is needed for a distinguished
score.

· Summarize an interview focused on past or current issues at a health care organization.

· Identify an issue from an interview for which an evidence-based interdisciplinary approach would be appropriate.

· Describe potential change theories and a leadership strategies that
could inform an interdisciplinary solution to an organizational issue.

· Describe collaboration approaches from the literature that could
facilitate establishing or improving an interdisciplinary team to
address an organizational issue.

· Communicate with writing that is clear, logically organized, and
professional, with correct grammar and spelling, and using current APA
style.

Additional Requirements

· Length of submission: Use the provided template. Most submissions
will be 2 to 4 pages in length. Be sure to include a reference page at
the end of the plan.

professional evidence that support your central ideas. Resources should
be no more than 5 years old.
