Introduction
Interprofessional collaboration is a critical aspect of a
nurse’s work. Through interprofessional collaboration, practitioners and
patients share information and consider each other’s perspectives to better
understand and address the many factors that contribute to health and
well-being (Sullivan et al., 2015). Essentially, by collaborating, health care
practitioners and patients can have better health outcomes. Nurses, who are
often at the frontlines of interacting with various groups and records, are full
partners in this approach to health care.
Reflection is a key part of building interprofessional
competence, as it allows you to look critically at experiences and actions
through specific lenses. From the standpoint of interprofessional
collaboration, reflection can help you consider potential reasons for and
causes of people’s actions and behaviors (Saunders et al., 2016). It also can
provide opportunities to examine the roles team members adopted in a given
situation as well as how the team could have worked more effectively.
As you begin to prepare this assessment you are encouraged
to complete the What is Reflective Practice? activity. The activity consists of
five questions that will allow you the opportunity to practice self-reflection.
The information gained from completing this formative will help with your
success on the Collaboration and Leadership Reflection Video assessment.
Completing formatives is also a way to demonstrate course engagement
Note: The
Example Kaltura Reflection demonstrates how to cite sources appropriately in an
oral presentation/video. Your assessment will reflect on either a professional
collaboration you experienced or a collaboration case study scenario that you
imagine you experienced

Context
This
assessment will help you to become a reflective practitioner. By considering
your own successes and shortcomings in interprofessional collaboration, you
will increase awareness of your problem-solving abilities. You will create a
Kaltura video of your reflections, including a discussion of best practices for
interprofessional collaboration and leadership strategies, supported by
references to the literature.
You
may choose to reflect on a collaborative interprofessional project you worked
on in your current or former place of practice, or you may choose to imagine
that you worked on the collaborative interprofessional scenario presented in
the Assessment 01 Supplement: Collaboration and Leadership Reflection Video
[PDF] resource.
Scenario
As part of an initiative to build effective collaboration
at a site where you work as a nurse, you have been asked to:
·
Reflect on an
interprofessional collaborative project.
·
Examine what happened
during the collaboration.
·
Identify positive
aspects and areas for improvement.
·
Research best practice
for interprofessional collaboration.
·
Use lessons learned from
your research and experience to create a video reflection (5-10 minutes) that
share suggestions for improving interprofessional collaboration that can be
shared with leadership and colleagues.
Instructions
Using Kaltura, record a video (5–10 minutes) where you
reflect on an interprofessional collaboration experience, proposing
recommendations for how to improve interprofessional collaboration that can be
shared with leadership and colleagues. Support these recommendations with
references to the literature.
The interprofessional project that you
reflect on may be one that you collaborated on at your current or former place
of practice, or you may choose to imagine you collaborated on the
interprofessional project presented in the Assessment 01 Supplement: Collaboration and Leadership
