Module 1, Part 1: Interprofessional Communication (Template)

Interprofessional communication promotes collaboration, enhances patient safety, improves workflow, and helps nurses deliver high-quality, patient-centered care. It is a key factor in creating a well-functioning healthcare team that can address the complex needs of patients in a comprehensive and efficient manner.

You will apply communication skills to the analysis of practice problems to improve patient or population health.

Respond to the following questions in the Module 1 Assignment Template Interdisciplinary Team Communication Scenario:

1. When Joseph and Lynn were discussing Dr Carr, what concerns did you identify in how they handled the situation?
2. How does their communication pattern impact team collaboration, communication, and civility among team members?
3. How should Lynn address her concerns instead?
4. Did Anna handle her response appropriately?

Module 2, Part 2: Identifying a Practice Problem (Template)

In order to identify a practice problem that requires a change plan, you need to first study your practicum site facility, conduct some preliminary research, and assess the strengths and weaknesses of the organization to identify an area of improvement relevant to population health or quality and safety.

Begin by interviewing your preceptor using the interview script. Use the interview to assess the healthcare facility. If the preceptor and facility allow, you may also speak to other nurses and administrators at the facility. You are not limited by the script; if you come up with other questions relevant to the task of assessing the facility, you may use your own judgment to ask additional questions.

It may be helpful to record the interview so that you can analyze the key points or themes. Make sure you ask for permission before recording. If permission is not granted, then take detailed notes and make sure you capture all important details in the interviewees’ responses to the questions.

After analyzing interview and observation data, identify an issue related to population health or quality and safety at your practicum site.

Complete the Module 2 Assignment Template based on the problem you identified.

Submit Module 1 and Module 2 assessments as two separate documents.
