Sample Answer for NURS 8002 Blog: How Do You Practice Intra- and Interdisciplinary Collaboration in Practice? Included After Question<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\nBlog: How Do You Practice Intra- and Interdisciplinary Collaboration<\/a> in Practice?<\/p>\nYou are the DNP-prepared nurse responsible for overseeing a large intensive care unit (ICU). You have noticed that in the last 3 months, the number of nosocomial, or hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), has dramatically increased among patients who have undergone cardiovascular procedures. You would like to initiate a practice study to determine the source of these HAIs and to improve patient outcomes in your ICU.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\nPhoto Credit: Andrey Popov \/ Adobe Stock<\/em><\/p>\nWhat types of interdisciplinary collaboration might be needed to support the goals of your practice study?<\/p>\n
As outlined in the scenario, the likelihood to engage in interdisciplinary collaboration to enhance healthcare delivery and nursing practice is high. In fact, it is likely that the DNP-prepared nurse in the scenario presented may need to collaborate with an infection prevention specialist (who may be a PhD-prepared nurse or PhD-credentialed healthcare professional). While this represents only one potential area in which interprofessional collaboration may take place in advanced nursing practice, it is important to keep in mind that when disciplines work together toward a shared goal that focuses on the patient, the quality and cost of care delivered will be optimized (Johnson & Johnson, 2016).<\/p>\n
For this Blog Assignment, review the Learning Resources and reflect on strategies that may be used to foster interdisciplinary collaboration in nursing practice. Reflect on strategies and approaches you might recommend that support interdisciplinary collaboration in practice.<\/p>\n

As a DNP-prepared nurse, the likelihood that you will engage in interprofessional collaboration is quite high. In fact, you may already find that you engage in such collaborations daily. In the modern healthcare delivery system, team-based approaches are more common in developing treatment plans that not only address a patient\u2019s needs but that foster long-term and positive patient outcomes. How do you anticipate engaging in interprofessional collaboration in your nursing practice?<\/p>\n

Module 3: Collaboration and the DNP Community of Practice<\/h2>\n
Interprofessional collaboration, or coordinating care between various disciplines, has resulted in widespread reduction of inefficiencies in patient care. As it applies to nursing practice, cooperative work allows for more effective treatment plans and a focus on the whole patient, eliminating independent work and divides that previously served to isolate healthcare delivery.<\/p>\n
In what ways might you already participate in interprofessional collaboration in your nursing practice? What potential benefits might arise from fostering a community of practice in nursing?<\/p>\n
What’s Happening This Module?<\/p>\n
Module 3:\u00a0Collaboration and the DNP Community of Practice is a 2-week module\u2014Weeks 6\u20137 of the course\u2014in which you examine intra- and interdisciplinary collaboration in nursing practice, including the strengths and challenges associated with these types of collaboration. In your Blog Assignments for this module, you will extend your understanding of these types of collaboration strategies while you also analyze your role as the DNP-prepared nurse in evaluating community and organizational needs, challenges, and issues. With these community and organizational considerations in mind, you will recommend practice changes and interventions to address those considerations, in essence, performing one of the core functions of the DNP-prepared nurse.<\/p>\n
