Write a 3–4-page article that addresses the topic of interprofessional collaboration and teamwork in health care organizations.

The majority of health care leaders today state that  interprofessional collaboration is essential for effective and efficient  health care delivery. But this type of collaboration rarely occurs  (Bankston & Glazer, 2013). In this assessment you will consider what  it takes to develop truly effective interprofessional collaborative  teams.

When six Navy pilots step into their F/A-18 fighter jets, they become  the Blue Angels, and the world sees a synchronized display of precision  flight formation. During their aerial acrobatics, the 28-ton jets form a  diamond shape with a mere 18 inches between the wing of one jet and the  canopy of another, travelling at more than 300 miles per hour. How do  the pilots achieve such precision? In addition to hours of practice,  intense focus, clear communication, and mutual trust, “at the door, each  [pilot] checks his or her ego, exchanging it for a soul-deep commitment  to ‘The Team'” (Scott, 2005, para.1).

Show Less  

Teams and collaborative groups are at the heart of many great  achievements and are common in health care and familiar to nurses. But  what defines a team, and how do teams achieve great outcomes? There are a  number of elements that must come together in order to build effective  teams. Many teams are in a state of constant flux as they build and  dissolve, based on the needs of the organization. Nurses are often  involved in several teams at the same time, and many of these teams are  multidisciplinary in nature.

So, what factors determine the effectiveness of a  multidisciplinary team? Do the same factors affect different teams  working within different areas of health care?

You have been asked to submit an article to be published in your  organization’s newsletter.
