Interprofessional collaboration involves a continuous interaction and knowledge sharing between professionals that will help improve patient care and outcomes.

Interprofessional Communication 4. Teams and Teamwork According to the Interprofessional Education Collaborative Expert Panel (2011), there are several specific values and ethical competencies to follow.

In an effort to create more efficient and effective health care services, decision makers and organizational leaders have looked to the implementation of interprofessional healthcare teams to deliver care together as opposed to the traditional model of healthcare delivery one that sees practitioners working alone in silos (Tomblin Murphy, Alder, MacKenzie & Rigby, 2010; Weinberg, Cooney-Miner, Perloff, Babington, & Avgar, 2011). In 2008, the World Health Organization (WHO) Study Group on Interprofessional Education (IPE) and Collaborative Practice (IPC) created a set of definitions to assist the health researchers, educators, policy developers, decision makers and others in developing IPE and IPC in their jurisdictions to both build capacity

Nurses versus Radiologist Technologist Brent Sterling Ohio State University NRSADVN 4600 Abstract In the medical field, there are many disciplines that must work together, using interprofessional collaborative efforts for the good of the patient being served. In regards to the IPEC core competencies for inner professional collaborative practice under values/ethics VE 5, we will be comparing how the nurses collaborate with radiologic technicians.

Health care professionals need to maintain a high degree of professionalism, while possessing the upmost degree of integrity. A patient needs to feel confident and safe at all
Collaboration among health care professionals is defined as assuming complementary roles and cooperatively working together, sharing responsibility for problem solving and making decisions to formulate and carry out plans for patient care. (Fagin, 2008). In any field of health care where physicians and nurses interact with one another for the purpose of quality patient care, it is vital for them to work together as one and understand the needs of their patients as well as each other’s roles and responsibilities. In short, teamwork should prevail for excellent patient service. Therefore, being in full partnership as a nurse with the physician and other healthcare professional is another recommendation that is applied by the RWJ-IOM report.
Lord laming enquiries (Laming, 2003; 2009) findings stated that ineffective interpersonal relationship and cross system challenges have contributed to failures in care. However, the system used in health and social system health care are different and complex and there are many barriers to successful professional working in terms incompatible information sharing mechanisms (Valios, 2009).For effective inter professional working, it is essential that
A patient 's confidentiality is essential and by law must never be compromised in any way. All people should be entitled to medical treatment by physicians and should not be discriminated due to their demographics.

High quality, accessible, and patient care which is considered to be patient-centered is crucial for quick and quality recovery (Wilkinson, 2012). Plans require visions that involve the creation of interprofessional competencies by students who are planning to take up nursing as their profession. Providing such skills to students will ensure that they get into the workforce ready to engage in the effective creation of teamwork and even team-based care (Eastman, 2010). My current station of work is an example where continuing competence is to build on each professional nurse. They are expected to engage in interdisciplinary collaboration so as to ensure best practices are adhered to.
Introduction Over the modules pertaining to Interprofessional Learning (IPE), I have studied the value of an education in collaborating with co-workers, regardless of distinct minds, in order to serve patients in need of medical attention. This matter interest mem because, so far all of my current efforts are intended for the prodigious outcome of becoming an outstanding Physician Assistant (PA). I understand that in order to be one of the best PAs, aside from earning the credentials of a PA, I must also be IPE trained in order to avoid negative and preventable outcomes. This reflection will help summarize my perspective on what I have obtained so far from IPE training.
This review of the interprofessional education (IPE) and collaborative practice, focused on the impact of this area of inquiry on the outcomes identified in the Triple Aim (Barnet & Lutfiyya, 2014). Translation into my
For example, in the health care provider field, the nurses should collaborate with the other health care professional like the doctor, pharmacist, physiotherapy or the radiography in order to achieve the common goal which for the patient’s
I used to overlook this notion as a simple concept that’s easy to accomplish within a team. However, I’ve learnt that it is not so easily achieved. Functional interprofessional collaboration is integral in delivering optimal health care and promotion. Successful interprofessional collaboration is important for nursing students, such as myself, as it is a concept and skill that is applicable to multiple contexts. My experience in an elementary school has given me the chance for mutual learning and collaboration with non-health professionals within the broader context of the community.
As a consequence of the boost in communication, significantly less misdiagnoses are experienced. Thus, both the patient and medical facility benefit from the reduction in unnecessary readmissions. This undoubtedly places value on the importance of giving the correct initial treatment to patients through the act of successful interprofessional care.(7) Interprofessional education undeniably develops communication skills throughout the healthcare system.
Interprofessional Learning Competencies (IPLC) Reflection In regards to the Interprofessional Learning Competencies (IPLC), the placement has helped me in attaining IPLC 2. Previously, I believed that dieticians only created meal and exercise plans to aid in maintaining a healthy weight. Though, through the assignment of the dietetic students to the walking and gait, anthropometry, and balance stations, I recognised the complexity of their profession, and the assessments that were required to form the basis of producing the nutrition therapies. Similarly, I had previously thought that social workers were predominantly involved in counselling and supporting families needing assistance.
