Create a 2-4 page report on an interview you have conducted
with a health care professional colleague. You will identify an
issue from the interview that could be improved with an
interdisciplinary approach, and review best practices and
evidence to address the issue. This is the first of three
assessments that build on each other.
As a baccalaureate-prepared nurse, your participation and
leadership in intra- and interdisciplinary teams will be vital to the
health outcomes for your patients and organization. One way to
approach designing an improvement project, and implementing
change, is to become knowledgeable about the challenges that
the organization is facing. To do this, you will interview a
healthcare professional. This can be a peer, a nursing colleague,
administrator, or someone who could provide you with sufficient
knowledge and information on a particular problem or concern
within the organization.
It would be an excellent choice to complete the Plan-Do-Study-
Act (PDSA) Cycle activity prior to developing the report. The
activity consists of four questions that create the opportunity to
check your understanding of best practices related to each stage
of the PDSA cycle, which is one of a number of change models
you can read about. The information gained from completing this
activity will promote your success with the Interview and
Interdisciplinary Issue Identification report. This will take just a
few minutes of your time and is not graded.
By interviewing a healthcare colleague of your choice, you will
begin to gather information about an interprofessional
collaboration problem that your colleague is experiencing, or has
experienced, in the workplace. You will identify a change theory
and leadership strategies that can be applied to address this
problem.
This assessment is the first of three related assessments in which
you will gather interview information, design a proposal for
interdisciplinary problem-solving, and report on how an
interdisciplinary improvement plan could be implemented in a
place of practice. At the end of the course, your interviewee will
have a proposal plan that they could present to stakeholders to
address an interdisciplinary problem in the workplace.
You may interview a healthcare professional such as a fellow
learner, nursing colleague, administrator, business partner, or
another appropriate person who could provide you with sufficient
information regarding an organizational problem or an area in
which the organization is seeking improvements. Consult
the Interview Guide [DOCX] for an outline of how to prepare and
the types of information you will need to complete this project
successfully.
For this assessment, you will report on the information gathered
during your interview. You will discuss the interview strategy that
you used to collect information. Your interview strategy should be
supported by citations from the literature. The goal of this
assessment is to analyze the interview data and identify an issue
that would benefit from an interdisciplinary solution. This could
be an issue that has not been addressed by an interdisciplinary
approach or one that could benefit from improvements related to
the interdisciplinary approach currently in use. Additionally, you
will prepare for your Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal assessment
by researching change theories, leadership strategies, and
collaboration approaches that could be relevant to issue you
have identified. Please be certain to review the scoring guide to
confirm specific required elements of this assessment. Note that
there are differences between basic, proficient and distinguished
criteria.

Use the Interview and Issue Identification Template [DOCX] to
help you stay organized and concise. As you complete the
template, make sure you use APA format for in-text citations for
the evidence and best practices that are informing your plan, as
well as for the reference list at the end. (Because you're using a
template, a title page is optional.)
