Write a 4 page paper on an interprofessional collaboration experience from your personal practice,
proposing suggestions on how to improve the collaboration presented in the Vila Health:
Collaboration for Change activity.
Be sure that your assessment addresses the following criteria. Please study the scoring guide
carefully so you will know what is needed for a distinguished score:
Reflect on an interdisciplinary collaboration experience, noting ways in which it was successful
and unsuccessful in achieving desired outcomes.
Identify how poor collaboration can result in inefficient management of human and financial
resources, citing supporting evidence from the literature.
Identify best-practice leadership strategies from the literature that would improve an
interdisciplinary team’s ability to achieve its goals, citing at least one author from the literature.
Identify best-practice interdisciplinary collaboration strategies to help a team achieve its goals
and work together, citing the work of at least one author.
You will need to relate an experience that you have had collaborating on a project. This could be at
your current or former place of practice, or another relevant project that will enable you to address
the requirements. In addition to describing your experience, you should explain aspects of the
collaboration that helped the team make progress toward relevant goals or outcomes, as well as
aspects of the collaboration that could have been improved.
A simplified gap-analysis approach may be useful:
What happened?
What went well?
What did not go well?
What should have happened?
After your personal reflection, examine the scenario in the Vila Health activity and discuss the ways
in which the interdisciplinary team did not collaborate effectively and the negative implications for the
human and financial resources of the interdisciplinary team and the organization as a whole.
Building on this investigation, identify at least one leadership best practice or strategy that you
believe would improve the team’s ability to achieve their goals. Be sure to identify the strategy and its
source or author and provide a brief rationale for your choice of strategy.
Additionally, identify at least one interdisciplinary collaboration best practice or strategy to help the
team achieve its goals and work more effectively together. Again, identify the strategy, its source,
and reasons why you think it will be effective.
You are encouraged to integrate lessons learned from your self-reflection to support and enrich your
discussion of the Vila Health activity.
