NURS FPX 4010 Assessment 2 Interview and Interdisciplinary Issue Identification, Assessment 3 Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal

Nurse Sharon has been a psychiatric nurse in a multidisciplinary health system for more than 23 years. Her primary role is to provide direct patient care to individuals dealing with a variety of mental health conditions. This includes conducting assessments, developing care plans, administering medications, and providing therapeutic interventions. Sharon describes how her organization operates as a network of clinics and hospitals that include primary care, mental health services, specialized medical services, and community outreach programs. In this interview, Nurse Sharon highlighted key issues such as burnout, staffing shortage, and communication breakdown between care teams. The highlighted issues have resulted in worsened health outcomes for the patient. Nurse Sharon emphasized the need for mandatory interdisciplinary training and institutional support to further enhance interprofessional collaboration. She points out challenges they have encountered in their organization, and how the issues have affected their ability to adequately carry out their duties. Her organization recognizes the challenges faced in implementing interdisciplinary care in their facility and has attempted to solve the problem by creating ways of working charts and providing financial incentives. The effort to tackle the problem has yielded some results but there is still a long way to the desired result. The issue that will be addressed in this section is burnout among healthcare workers. Thank you for your work on this assessment. I think you did a very nice job summarizing an interview focused on this current issue of nurse burnout at a health care organization. Overall, this is a well-thought-out assessment. I made some recommendations on how some criterion might achieve a higher performance score. You have the potential to be an excellent writer. I look forward to reading more of your work.
