     Instructions 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 References Saunders, R., Singer, R., Dugmore, H., Seaman, K., & Lake, F. (2016). Nursing students’ reflections on an interprofessional placement in ambulatory care. Reflective Practice, 17(4), 393–402. Sullivan, M., Kiovsky, R., Mason, D., Hill, C., Duke, C. (2015). Interprofessional collaboration and education. American Journal of Nursing, 115(3), 47–54. Demonstration of Proficiency Competency 1: Explain strategies for managing human and financial resources to promote organizational health. Identify how poor collaboration can result in inefficient management of human and financial resources supported by evidence from the literature. Competency 2: Explain how interdisciplinary collaboration can be used to achieve desired patient and systems outcomes. Reflect on an interdisciplinary collaboration experience noting ways in which it was successful and unsuccessful in achieving desired outcomes. Identify best-practice interdisciplinary collaboration strategies to help a team to achieve its goals and work more effectively together. Competency 4: Explain how change management theories and leadership strategies can enable interdisciplinary teams to achieve specific organizational goals. Identify best-practice leadership strategies from the literature, which would improve an interdisciplinary team’s ability to achieve its goals. Competency 5: Apply professional, scholarly, evidence-based communication strategies to impact patient, interdisciplinary team, and systems outcomes. Communicate via video with clear sound and light. The full reference list is from relevant and evidence-based (published within 5 years) sources, exhibiting nearly flawless adherence to APA format. Professional 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.

    Description

    For this assessment you will create a 5-10 minute video reflection on an experience in which you collaborated interprofessionally, as well as a brief discussion of an interprofessional collaboration scenario and how it could have been better approached.

    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.

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. The Example Kaltura Reflection video is not a reflection on the Vila Health activity. Your reflection assessment will focus on both your professional experience and the Vila Health activity as described in the scenario.

    PROFESSIONAL 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 video of your reflections, including a discussion of best practices of interprofessional collaboration and leadership strategies, cited in the literature.

    SCENARIO

    As part of an initiative to build effective collaboration at your Vila Health site, where you are a nurse, you have been asked to reflect on a project or experience in which you collaborated interprofessionally and examine what happened during the collaboration, identifying positive aspects and areas for improvement.

    You have also been asked to review a series of events that took place at another Vila Health location and research interprofessional collaboration best practices and use the lessons learned from your experiences to make recommendations for improving interprofessional collaboration among their team. Your task is to create a 5–10 minute video reflection with suggestions for the Vila Health team that can be shared with leadership as well as Vila Health colleagues at your site. Note: If you require the use of assistive technology or alternative communication methods to participate in this activity, please contact DisabilityServices@Capella.edu to request accommodations. If, for some reason, you are unable to record a video, please contact your faculty member as soon as possible to explore options for completing the assessment.

    INSTRUCTIONS

    Using Kaltura, record a 5–10 minute video reflection on an interprofessional collaboration experience from your personal practice, proposing suggestions on how to improve the collaboration presented in the Vila Health: Collaboration for Change activity.

    Be sure that your assessment addresses the following criteria. Please study the scoring guide carefully so you will know what is needed for a distinguished score:

    • Reflect on an interdisciplinary collaboration experience, noting ways in which it was successful and unsuccessful in achieving desired outcomes.
    • Identify how poor collaboration can result in inefficient management of human and financial resources, citing supporting evidence from the literature.
    • Identify best-practice leadership strategies from the literature that would improve an interdisciplinary team’s ability to achieve its goals, citing at least one author from the literature.
    • Identify best-practice interdisciplinary collaboration strategies to help a team achieve its goals and work together, citing the work of at least one author.
    • Communicate in a professional manner, is easily audible, and uses proper grammar. Format reference list in current APA style.

    You will need to relate an experience that you have had collaborating on a project. This could be at your current or former place of practice, or another relevant project that will enable you to address the requirements. In addition to describing your experience, you should explain aspects of the collaboration that helped the team make progress toward relevant goals or outcomes, as well as aspects of the collaboration that could have been improved.

    A simplified gap-analysis approach may be useful:

    • What happened?
    • What went well?
    • What did not go well?
      • What should have happened?

    After your personal reflection, examine the scenario in the Vila Health activity and discuss the ways in which the interdisciplinary team did not collaborate effectively and the negative implications for the human and financial resources of the interdisciplinary team and the organization as a whole.

    Building on this investigation, identify at least one leadership best practice or strategy that you believe would improve the team’s ability to achieve their goals. Be sure to identify the strategy and its source or author and provide a brief rationale for your choice of strategy.

    Additionally, identify at least one interdisciplinary collaboration best practice or strategy to help the team achieve its goals and work more effectively together. Again, identify the strategy, its source, and reasons why you think it will be effective.

    You are encouraged to integrate lessons learned from your self-reflection to support and enrich your discussion of the Vila Health activity.

    You are required to submit an APA-formatted reference list for any sources that you cited specifically in your video or used to inform your presentation. The Example Kaltura Reflection will show you how to cite scholarly sources in the context of an oral presentation.

    PART A 150 words

    Thought bubbleIn the lecture, you learned about many cognitive processes, including perception. Perception involves how people interpret and make sense of the world around them. As you learned, there are a variety of perceptual errors, including the recency effect and the halo effect. These errors help to explain why an individual’s perceptions might not correspond with reality and why people can have such differing perceptions from one another.

    For discussion, you will apply this material to your personal or professional life. Please address the following in your initial post:

    • Summarize a time where your perception differed greatly from that of another person.
      • In so doing, make sure to describe your own perception and the other person’s and explain whether either of you might have been displaying one of the perceptual errors you learned about in lecture (halo effect, recency effect, etc.).
    • Detail what the results of this perceptual difference were. For instance, did it lead to hostility or difficulty finding common ground?
    • Outline specific ways this situation could have been handled differently using tips from lecture.
    • Identify some strategies you will use in the future to ensure you are perceiving reality as accurately as possible and not succumbing to perceptual errors

    Did you lock the master branch as explain in GitHW2 Lab 2 – Git? How did you proceed to review each other work?
    Full project life cycle
    Have you used a project board? How did you used it, or if you did not use a project board how did you plan and manage your project and team work?
    Is the usual cycle: write code, compile code, run code, test code was the same when doing remote development on Wolfgand cluster. Did you need to adapt your way of working or use different tools?
    What kind of testing did you plan to use for this project? Did you consider measuring speed, memory consumption and validity of results for matrix multiplication. Did you consider that the code provided by the professor could have flaws?
    Did you need to write code or use tools to generate random matrix of specific sizes? Did you put this in your plan?
    Did you put in your plan the work needed to generate tables or graphs? Did you automate this work?
    What proportion of the tasks (and time) in your plan is about writing variations on the matrix multiplication algorithm and what proportion is about testing and reporting activities?
