Collaboration and Leadership Reflection Video

Hi to everyone. My name is Kristy. In this reflection video, I will discuss the vital role of interprofessional collaboration in Health Promotion and Disease Prevention (HPDP) at the community health center. By an in-depth review of the case study presented, I will demonstrate the complexities of teamwork among healthcare workers. By exploring the issues encountered, this assessment seeks to emphasize the need for successful collaboration in maintaining effective HPDP services for community members. Healthcare team members can better develop interdisciplinary teamwork by considering critical perspectives from diverse medical experts and addressing the problems and ideas for the future (Doornebosch et al., 2022).  

Interdisciplinary Collaboration Experience

As a practicing nurse, I took part in an interprofessional endeavor to improve HPDP at the community health center. The collaboration had both advantages and drawbacks. Reflective nursing practice proved crucial for analyzing and enhancing a team’s performance. HPDP’s interprofessional team consists of public health professionals, doctors, nurses, community healthcare providers, and social workers who collaborate to create and administer health promotion initiatives. The team offers patients continuous care, which includes health information, testing, and recommendations for local services (Capella University, n.d.).

Successful Aspects of Interdisciplinary Collaboration

In the investigation of interdisciplinary collaboration for HPDP, several cases were discovered that were very effective. Through the combined efforts of a multidisciplinary team, difficulties were successfully addressed. The team’s collective effort also performed an excellent job of respecting and leveraging our members’ abilities and experience. This was evidenced by the different abilities of team members, which aided in providing comprehensive care to the community. For instance, Community health workers provided health literacy and gathered information on the needs of the community (Rahman et al., 2021).

Nurse Lily Tomski participates in health promotion programs. Furthermore, physicians, such as Dr. Aisha Patel, provided primary care by diagnosing, prescribing medications, and educating patients (Capella University, n.d.). Social workers handle patients’ psychological problems, enabling each team member to contribute to various aspects of the community, contributing to improved health promotion (Ross et al., 2021).

Unsuccessful Aspects of Interdisciplinary Collaboration

In the investigation of HPDP at community health centers, we identified many critical difficulties that hampered the efficiency of multidisciplinary cooperation. The primary challenge is to incorporate health promotion initiatives into medical care. Lack of uniform and standard protocols across departments due to a shortage of information and awareness. It confuses and renders prevention methods ineffective. Another barrier to success was poor interaction and collaboration among the interprofessional group and other community resources, which resulted in adverse health outcomes. The patient appeared to be imprisoned between opposing perspectives due to cultural diversity and logistical challenges with their treatment plan, resulting in inadequate treatment. Introducing culturally appropriate health promotion resources can enhance the comprehension and health of varied communities (Wen et al., 2022).

 Furthermore, the physician-patient ratio is a barrier to HPDP and comprehensive treatment. It led to inefficient patient guidance and care. Furthermore, despite efforts to develop open communication approaches, there were circumstances in which real-time information transmission stopped short, causing delays in addressing emerging health risks. Social determinants of health are also crucial barriers to effective HPDP. It can cause health disparities. Lastly, For efficient HPDP, community health data must be collected and analyzed on a timely basis. Delays in data collecting and the translation of research into practice result in negative outcomes (Fagherazzi et al., 2020).

The Role of Reflective Nursing Practice in Improving Future Collaboration

Reflective nursing practice is a useful approach for potential collaboration because it encourages nurses to critically analyze and become cautious and self-aware of their prior encounters (Rasheed et al., 2021).  Reflection allows nurses to find opportunities for development, including boosting patient communication and defining duties within a multidisciplinary group. Nurses can promote honest discourse, anticipate issues, and implement standard clinical procedures (Pangh et al., 2019).

This reflective strategy encourages nurses to be engaged in collaborative discussions, resulting in improved coordination during HPDP initiatives. Reflective practice also assists nurses in fostering empathy and compassion, enabling them to collaborate more effectively to achieve a common goal. Nurses can assist in promoting the culture of constant enhancement, which is vital to interprofessional collaborative work and the healthcare of the community (Marshall et al., 2022).

Inefficiencies in Human Resource Management due to Poor Collaboration

Evidence in the literature has revealed that inefficient interaction and collaboration within medical facilities waste both human and financial resources for those dealing with HPDP. For instance, Alderwick et al. (2021), demonstrate that when medical professionals do not collaborate successfully for HPDP, it can result in increased costs, ineffective care, and recurrent failures because of lack of compliance to standard protocol.

Tiwary et al. (2021), promote this perspective, stating that poor communication and coordination among teams lead to patient delay in therapy and insufficient use of resources. Inappropriate collaboration leads to financial burden due to poor patient care. It ultimately demands more financial resources and funding. It has been reported that about 27% of clinical negligence results from communication difficulties.

Wang et al. (2022), study provides insight into the repercussions of insufficient communication and collaboration in a healthcare organization. According to the authors, poor cooperation causes burnout among medical professionals and a high rate of turnover, resulting in poor-quality patient care. Moreover, poor cooperation leads to inadequate use of human resources due to misconceptions and duplication of roles. Ineffective collaboration influences monetary resources. As stated by Degu et al. (2019), factors contributing to inadequate interdisciplinary collaborations include inadequate professional assistance, insufficient interpersonal interaction, and poor interprofessional collaborations.

Inadequate interprofessional cooperation influences patient safety and medical care, causing emotional distress among medical professionals. Ee et al. (2020), found that inadequate collaboration leads to inconsistent delivery of services, resulting in unsatisfactory patient outcomes and increased medical utilization. Lacking cooperation and coordination prohibits patients from managing their healthcare and obtaining critical services. All of these issues affect the effectiveness and productivity of the multidisciplinary team and have significant financial consequences for the health organization.

Best-Practice Leadership Strategies for Interdisciplinary Teams

According to multiple studies cited in the literature, effective leadership is critical for interdisciplinary teams to thrive in settings like HPDP. To improve collaboration and coordination and accomplish goals, it is vital to implement best-practice approaches to leadership. Skar et al. (2022), characterize a specific approach as the establishment of transformational leadership attributes among team managers. Transformational leaders motivate and encourage their teams by developing a common goal, encouraging cooperation, and stimulating innovative thinking.

Transformational Leaders empower multidisciplinary groups to collaborate to accomplish common goals by reflecting these attributes. Li et al. (2019), emphasize the necessity of transformative leadership as a best-practice leadership approach. It encourages innovation and modification within the interdisciplinary team. It enables individuals to formulate ideas critically and devise innovative solutions to complex problems that arise during health promotion.

Obuba (2023), emphasizes the importance of leadership approaches like authentic leadership in developing integrity and trust in interdisciplinary teams. Authentic leadership can foster credibility among employees by demonstrating moral conduct and principles and by adhering to authentic leadership standards such as openness, truthfulness, and responsibility. Through trust and respect for one another, the interdisciplinary team can promote effective interaction and coordination for the achievement of the team’s goals.

Furthermore, Bornman and Louw (2023), stressed the adoption of the collaborative style of leadership. It is critical for interdisciplinary training and education. It enhances collaboration by utilizing shared and collaborative management approaches, including a focus on a shared vision. Collaborative leadership is the allocation of leadership authority within a team among different individuals. It assists in improving operations, efficacy, and productivity in multidisciplinary groups while enhancing healthcare staff fulfillment and improving health outcomes.

These approaches are crucial to providing efficient care and improving patient outcomes. Leaders can promote effective multidisciplinary cooperation by employing these approaches adapted to the specific needs of community health, resulting in improved patient results and treatment quality. Improved teamwork provides an extensive strategy for managing the varied needs of individuals during HPDP (O’Donovan et al., 2021).

Best-Practice Interdisciplinary Collaboration Strategies

The literature identifies a number of best-practice initiatives for improving interdisciplinary collaboration and enhancing health promotion by preventing diseases. Every member of the multidisciplinary team must communicate with one another for improved health outcomes. Interdisciplinary teams should share thoughts, knowledge, and criticism to be more productive in HPDP.

To avoid miscommunication and inconsistency among teammates and to build an environment favorable to goal achievement, communication, and interaction should entail actively listening and sympathy with others and supporting others to communicate their perspectives (Doornebosch et al., 2022). Another essential aspect of interdisciplinary teamwork is the establishment of explicit duties or obligations among team members.

Capella 4010 Assessment 1 Collaboration and Leadership Reflection Video

Dividing the tasks among team members enables the avoidance of confusion and encourages everyone to perform their roles effectively. When multidisciplinary teams practice this division of work, patient care and outcomes improve (Brown et al., 2023). For effective interdisciplinary teamwork, teams should have confidence and respect. Applying mutual respect and trust-building exercises aids in creating a healthy workplace culture that recognizes their contributions and involvement. Multidisciplinary groups working for HPDP can achieve more by combining their teams’ knowledge and promoting a culture of confidence and esteem (Runtu et al., 2019). 

Transparent communication channels should be developed to ensure that team members share knowledge effectively. Promoting shared decision-making approaches enables participation from all disciplines while making crucial choices and increasing responsibility and dedication among teams (Alfandari & Taylor, 2022). Furthermore, organizing Interprofessional Education (IPE) and instruction programs provides team members with the skills needed to cooperate efficiently. Regular assessment and enhancement of collaboration tactics are vital, enabling the team to grow and maximize performance in HPDP (Zechariah et al., 2019).

Conclusion

To summarize, multidisciplinary collaboration in community HPDP is critical for improving patient outcomes and managing assets. Leaders improve teamwork and productivity by encouraging open communication, clearly defined responsibilities, and an environment of respect. By managing difficulties and maximizing strengths, multidisciplinary groups accomplish their goal of delivering efficient care and disease prevention to the community.
