For this assessment you will create a 2-4 page plan proposal for an interprofessional team to collaborate and work

toward driving improvements in the organizational issue you identified in the second assessment.

The health care industry is always striving to improve patient outcomes and attain organizational goals. Nurses can

play a critical role in achieving these goals; one way to encourage nurse participation in larger organizational efforts

is to create a shared vision and team goals (Mulvale et al., 2016). Participation in interdisciplinary teams can also

offer nurses opportunities to share their expertise and leadership skills, fostering a sense of ownership and

collegiality.

You are encouraged to complete the Budgeting for Nurses activity before you develop the plan proposal. The

activity consists of seven questions that will allow you the opportunity to check your knowledge of budgeting basics

and as well as the value of financial resource management. The information gained from completing this formative

will promote success with the Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal. Completing this activity also demonstrates your

engagement in the course, requires just a few minutes of your time, and is not graded.

Professional Context

 

This assessment will allow you to describe a plan proposal that includes an analysis of best practices of

interprofessional collaboration, change theory, leadership strategies, and organizational resources with a financial

budget that can be used to solve the problem identified through the interview you conducted in the prior

assessment.

 

Scenario

 

Having reviewed the information gleaned from your professional interview and identified the issue, you will

determine and present an objective for an interdisciplinary intervention to address the issue.

 

Note: You will not be expected to implement the plan during this course. However, the plan should be evidence-

based and realistic within the context of the issue and your interviewee’s organization.

 

Instructions

 

For this assessment, use the context of the organization where you conducted your interview to develop a viable

plan for an interdisciplinary team to address the issue you identified. Define a specific patient or organizational

outcome or objective based on the information gathered in your interview.

The goal of this assessment is to clearly lay out the improvement objective for your planned interdisciplinary

intervention of the issue you identified. Additionally, be sure to further build on the leadership, change, and

collaboration research you completed in the previous assessment. Look for specific, real-world ways in which those

strategies and best practices could be applied to encourage buy-in for the plan or facilitate the implementation of

the plan for the best possible outcome.

Using the Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal Template [DOCX] will help you stay organized and concise. As you

complete each section of the template, make sure you apply APA format to in-text citations for the evidence and

best practices that inform your plan, as well as the reference list at the end.

Additionally, be sure that your plan addresses 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.

Describe an objective and predictions for an evidence-based interdisciplinary plan to achieve a specific goal

related to improving patient or organizational outcomes.

an interdisciplinary team succeed in collaborating and implementing, or creating buy-in for, the project plan.

Explain the collaboration needed by an interdisciplinary team to improve the likelihood of achieving the plan’s

objective. Include best practices of interdisciplinary collaboration from the literature.

Explain organizational resources, including a financial budget, needed for the plan to succeed and the

impacts on those resources if the improvements described in the plan are not made.

Communicate the interdisciplinary plan, with writing that is clear, logically organized, and professional, with

correct grammar and spelling, using current APA style.
