Introduction:- 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. 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 
[email protected] 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.

Refer to the Campus tutorial 

Using Kaltura [PDF]
 as needed to record and upload your reflection.

· Additional requirements:-
References: Cite at least 3 professional or scholarly sources of evidence to support the assertions you make in your video. Include additional properly cited references as necessary to support your statements.

·
APA Reference Page: Submit a correctly formatted APA reference page that shows all the sources you used to create and deliver your video.

how to apply theory to be an efficient nurse educator

this is in correspondence with the goals and objective of the previous work. the one you did,

Summary of strengths:

Psychiatric examination and therapy have been my clinical basis. I am confident in detecting clinical signs, differentiating pathophysiological and psychopathological problems, and performing thorough examinations. My mental state tests, psychosocial data interpretation, and functional evaluations demonstrate my comprehensive patient evaluation skills. I also excel in diagnostic reasoning, accurate diagnosis, and patient-responsive pharmacotherapy. Professional integrity, interdisciplinary teamwork, and empathy and non-judgment demonstrate my patient-centered care. Self-assessment and goal-setting help me grow via reflective practice. With my skills in these areas, I'm ready to improve and seize development possibilities.

Opportunities for growth:

I see places where I can improve my clinical skills as I reflect. While confident in many areas, I want to improve my capacity to distinguish normal and atypical age-related physiological and psychological symptoms to better comprehend patient presentations. I also see an opportunity to improve my selection of evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for psychotherapy planning and precision intervention. Another focus is creating age-appropriate customized care plans based on screening instrument results to improve my ability to give focused and effective treatments. I can recognize complex needs and build therapies that connect with patients' particular situations by strengthening these abilities. I want to improve my mental consultation suggestion and referral documentation. This will help multidisciplinary teams communicate and provide comprehensive patient care. My desire to enhance these areas drives my dedication to progress, helping me to confidently confront complicated mental health practice difficulties. Taking advantage of these changes will improve my skills and help me give excellent care to people and their families.
