What collaboration strategies can professional nurses use to specifically promote collaboration with other healthcare disciplines and professionals?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n There have been many efforts to promote collaboration and communication in health care teams and disciplines. Off the top of my head, communication tools such as an SBAR (a ,technique of delivering information of: situation, background, assessment, recommendation to develop a multidisciplinary decision and treatment), contribute significantly to collaboration. When used in a consistent matter with all members of the health care team, it can help to ensure everyone is on the same page with addressing concerns and safety of the patient.<\/p>\n \u201cCollaboration in health care is defined as health care professionals assuming complementary roles and cooperatively working together, sharing responsibility for problem-solving and making decisions to formulate and carry out plans for patient care\u201d (O\u2019Daniel, Rosenstein, 2008). Collaboration and communication must co-exist in the health care setting in order to deliver and provide best patient outcomes.\u00a0 I strongly feel that collaboration with other health care disciplines and professionals needs to have a strong foundation of communication to be able to build upon that. Developing a strong skill for communication is something that is practiced daily and improved over time.<\/p>\n One of the strategies that I appreciated, besides communication, that would help promote collaboration with our health care team and professionals was to be able to identify and be accountable for your limitations, strengths and weaknesses as a member of a team (Massachusetts Nurse of the Future Nursing Core Competencies<\/em>, 2016 ). I feel that our discussions thus far have helped us all in this strategy already and it makes it very relatable. This strategy of recognizing within one\u2019s self can help nurses recognize their responsibilities, contributions and role in the team and be able to collaborate with other professionals with respect, honesty and integrity (Massachusetts Nurse of the Future Nursing Core Competencies<\/em>, 2016). All of which are key components to promote healthy, strong collaboration in a team setting.<\/p>\n In the article \u201cProfessional Communication and Team Collaboration\u201d by Michelle O\u2019Daniel and Alan Rosenstein, it is noted that poor communication or a lack of communication have a higher incidence of causing medical errors (p 271). According to the Joint Commission, if medical errors were considered a cause of death in national health statistics, it would rank as number 5 in the United States (O\u2019Daniel, Rosenstein, 2008). \u00a0Health care teams can consist of multiple members in different modalities of care and because this creates a level of diversity, respect and thorough communication are key. With good and frequent communication between individuals, understanding others\u2019 knowledge and skill set in their practice helps to establish familiarity, trust and respect for the individuals (O\u2019Daniel, Rosenstein, 2008). These components help contribute to improve collaboration in health care teams, improve patient safety and outcomes, and decrease the incidence of medical errors.<\/p>\n O\u2019Daniel, M., Rosenstein, A., (2008).\u00a0Patient Safety and Quality: An Evidence-Based Handbook for Nurses, 2<\/em>nd<\/sup><\/em>\u00a0Edition.\u00a0<\/em>Retrieved from\u00a0https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK2637\/Links to an external site.<\/a>.<\/p>\n Massachusetts Nurse of the Future Nursing Core Competencies: Registered Nurse.<\/em>\u00a0(Revised March 2016).

While we sometimes collaborate with patients and their families in planning nursing care (Hood, 2018<\/span>), in this week\u2019s discussion we are considering collaboration between and among different healthcare professions (or disciplines)<\/span><\/i>. Since nurses are coordinators of care (Chamberlain College of Nursing, 2016), we need to become experts in the use of communication strategies that enhance and promote interprofessional collaboration.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Class, please return to the original assigned discussion topic above.

Effective communication between nurses and physicians is extremely important to patient safety.\u202f\u202fThe Joint Commission reports that communication errors contribute to the majority of sentinel events reported.\u202f\u202fThomas (2009)<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>I would like to share an experience I had recently involving poor communication, teamwork and collaboration.\u202f\u202fIt involved a scheduled procedure on a patient\u2019s left hand.\u202f\u202fThis patient was evaluated and diagnosed by her surgeon, seen by him the morning of the procedure, completed all the pre-operative assessments and was ready to be transported to the operating room.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>While performing my assessment and interview, I noticed a bangle bracelet on her left wrist, the operative limb.\u202f\u202fI kindly asked her to remove the bracelet.\u202f\u202fPatient stated that the bracelet has been on for the past 20 years and she was physically unable to remove it.\u202f\u202fShe became emotional and tears begin to flow.\u202f\u202fShe shared with me how special the bracelet was to her and if it must be removed she would not proceed with her surgery.\u202f\u202fBy taking the time to listen and sympathize with my patient, I recommended that she reconsider her decision.\u202f\u202fI pointed out that she had mentally and physically prepared for the procedure.\u202f\u202fShe would still have the pain and problems that she had previously. Upon further dialogue, it was discovered that the bracelet was actually made of glass and therefore, could not be removed safely in the hospital setting. I explained that we would try to figure out a solution together.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I contact the surgeon and he said he would not perform the procedure if the bracelet was not removed.\u202f\u202fAt this point, I communicated the situation to my supervisor.\u202f\u202fMy supervisor consulted the surgeon and explained the predicament.\u202f\u202fAt this point, he decided to perform the procedure with the bracelet left in place but secured and kept out of the sterile field.\u202f\u202f<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n \u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Again, I returned to the patient and explained what the plan was moving forward. She was to immediately seek treatment in the emergency department should swelling occur because the bracelet could cause harm and increase the risk for potential loss of hand\/limb.\u202f\u202fShe understood and agreed to use ice and elevation to minimize the swelling.\u202f\u202fI also spoke to the husband and explained the events, the delay and the importance of monitoring for swelling.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>My patient was relieved, the procedure safely performed and her bracelet remained in place.\u202f\u202fThe roles assumed by nurses require that they have a repertoire of clinical, cognitive and communication skills.\u202f\u202fAdaptation to situa<\/span><\/p>\n ions is necessary as nurses often encounter complicated patient situations.\u202f\u202fHood ( 2018). This event included communication, teamwork and collaboration, safety, patient centered care, quality improvement, leadership and professionalism on my part as a nurse.\u202f\u202fThese core competencies came together to allow me to provide excellent patient care.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n
