Question

co2: demonstrate leadership strategies that promote safety and improve quality in nursing pratice and increase collaboration with other disciplines when planning patient centered care within systems- based practice.

Answer 1

Ans) Interprofessional collaborative practice is defined by the World Health Organization as a situation that occurs “when multiple health workers from different professional backgrounds work together with patients, families, carers, and communities to deliver the highest quality of care.”

- Benefits of interprofessional collaboration—for nurses, other healthcare professionals, and patients—include improved patient outcomes, fewer preventable errors, reduced healthcare costs, and improved relationships with other disciplines.

- The key issues include putting the community or client first, the organization second, oneself last, and prejudices aside. Shortages in primary care providers and the challenges of managing chronic, complex diseases, such as musculoskeletal problems, poverty, pollution, population are excellent opportunities for the health professions to bring unique skills to collaborative environments. Times are changing, silos are falling, national health burdens are being shared, and it is going to take much more than a single practitioner or paradigm to solve the serious health care issues confronting humanity today and in the future. Through collaboration, we can work together for a better future.

- Bringing all these pieces together enables a better understanding of the patient's needs. With better care and the closure of communication gaps, patient outcomes are better. Interprofessional collaboration combats ongoing patient care problems such as misdiagnosis.
