Week 5: Interprofessional Collaboration

One of the ways through which it can be made sure that the collaboration and interaction among nursing stakeholders is to be increased is by ensuring that whenever there is a decision to be made, the more coordinated approach is needed (Rau et al, 2015). The idea is to ensure that the all the stakeholders that are involved in the healthcare decision making process should work in the manner that should allow them to have complete insight about some of the ongoing developments that are going on at the end of the organization (Rau et al, 2015). Especially when it comes to the way management of the patient transition is supposed to be carried out (Myers, 2018). At times, one gets an impression that not enough importance is being given to the nurses when it comes to making sure that how they are able to bring about a degree of control to the nursing outcomes (Rau et al, 2015). What is needed to be done in this regard is that effort must be made to make sure that the they should be trained and must have enough insight about the healthcare of the other people to ensure that they are able to form a definitive opinion about their healthcare (Rau et al, 2015). In that manner, they are going to be able to identify some of the long running gaps that are witnessed in terms of the healthcare administration (Rau et al, 2015). The other thing that the nurses can do is that that as they are going to be more qualified, they would be having much greater clinical experience in terms of the way things are supposed to be done at the given at the particular point of time. In that way, they are going to ensure that the broader perspective in terms of the patient healthcare and greater outcomes are going to be achieved at the given point of time (Terry et al, 2017).

Week 5: Patient Outcomes

The most important thing for the nurse is to make sure that they look after the patient outcomes in an appropriate manner (Cole, 2018). With the advent of the evidence-based nursing and treatment methodologies, it is quite common these days when it comes to making sure that the how the nurses are going to be in the position to fall back to their previous experience and come up with the treatment and remedy to take care of different ailments (Terry et al, 2017). One of the most common problems that is how the balance has to be achieved when it comes to the higher quality patient care and the resources that the any healthcare organization has at its disposal (Terry et al, 2017). Most of the times, what happens is that the healthcare professional and the physicians that are operating in any organization are limited (Terry et al, 2017). And it is important for them to have a look at the more pressing issues rather than looking at the natural day to day affairs of the patients. In this regard, the nurses can play an important role due to the fact that they are well versed as far as the way adequate day to day treatment is supposed to be offered to the patient (Terry et al, 2017). What is needed to be done is to make sure that better treatment and practice opportunities are needed to be provided to the nurses to make sure that they are able to manage things in their own manner and the problem of resource constraint is resolved at the workplace (Terry et al, 2017).
