Benefits and Strategies of Interdisciplinary Collaboration NURS FPX 4030 Assessment 4 Remote Collaboration and Evidence Based Care

One of the potential obstacles that healthcare professionals face during interprofessional collaboration is a lack of leadership and not defining individual roles. This can create misunderstanding and make the work ineffective. To overcome this type of challenge, it is essential at the very first to define the individual responsibilities and roles of all professionals involved in the collaboration (McLaney et al., 2022).

Other challenges while working in interprofessional collaboration include inadequate information exchange, inconsistencies in communication, and insufficient coordination (Svensson, 2019). These obstacles can hinder a team’s seamless functioning and productivity, particularly in a virtual or remote working environment for providing healthcare facilities. Addressing these challenges is crucial to enhance collaboration and overall performance within the team. They can be addressed by proper training for better communication and collaboration among professionals for the safety of patients.

A recent study has reported the effects of arranging training or seminars for healthcare professionals by seniors/experts. These trainings and seminars improve communication practices. So, the challenges mentioned above can be mitigated by arranging such training (Schmidt et al., 2021).

Improvement in interprofessional collaborations within a healthcare organization for the future can be achieved through the planned scheduling of regular professional training sessions. Healthcare organizations should focus on investing in their infrastructure and facilities to promote the use of technology while working remotely. They can have an online platform for collaborative work, virtual meetings, online data monitoring, and management. Also, the training to use these IT tools can be beneficial for better outcomes of incorporating them in healthcare facilities.

Conclusion

To conclude my video presentation. The remote collaboration is focused on providing an evidence-based care plan that offers a thorough strategy for enhancing healthcare outcomes for Vila Health patients like Caitlynn. In situations when distance and complex medical issues collide, remote collaboration, made possible by telemedicine and interdisciplinary teaming, provides timely personalized care that helps her overcome her disease.

The care plan for Caitlynn, who has cystic fibrosis, is supported by extensive research and evidence. It comprises the most recent studies and recommendations. Although remote collaboration has many benefits, it also shows difficulties that call for coordinated efforts from the interdisciplinary team to uphold a patient-centered approach and improve the patient’s quality of life.
