Poor Collaboration in Inefficient Management of Human And Financial Resources Human Resources NURS FPX 4010 Assessment 1 Collaboration and Leadership Reflection Video

After going through the Vila Health scenario, it became evident that effective interdisciplinary collaboration in healthcare is necessary to streamline the workflow. In this case, the poor collaboration from the higher management created an agitated and tiring environment for all human resources, especially the nursing staff.

The absence of communication within a healthcare team leads to delayed responses, endangered patients, and a lack of trust among team members. A former study by Nyaaba et al. (2020) showed that the inability to communicate and poor collaboration is one of the reasons behind the hypertension of health professionals. These factors in the Vila health case also contribute to job dissatisfaction and stressful work environments. Also, the over-strained nurses can not provide excellent care to patients.

Financial Resources

Financial challenges in healthcare often stem from poor collaboration among healthcare professionals and departments. In the vila health scenario, the lack of communication and interprofessional collaboration created financial liabilities such as delayed projects. Implementing the EHR system in Vila Health increased the time for data management as nurses found difficulties in using this system.

Financial challenges in healthcare due to poor collaboration highlight how healthcare funding, financing models, and human resources can impact access to healthcare services. These factors can lead to disparities in access, quality, and cost of care. Addressing these challenges necessitates multidimensional approaches involving government policies, healthcare providers, and communities to ensure equitable and accessible healthcare for all individuals (Cu et al., 2021).

Best-Practice Leadership Strategies

Best-practice leadership strategies in interprofessional collaboration involve the development of effective teamwork and communication among professionals from various disciplines. Some best practice leadership strategies are:

Strong Leadership

Strong leadership is crucial in multi-professional collaboration as it provides direction, ensures adherence to best-practice strategies, and fosters a cohesive team environment. According to Watson (2020), effective leadership empowers professionals to work collaboratively, navigate challenges, and ultimately deliver higher-quality care and services. Practical and positive leadership is essential for successive communication among team members.

In the vila health scenario, this factor was missing, due to which the nursing facility faced problems. Timely and effective communication from leadership to middle management regarding implementing the EHR system could have improved outcomes. With their communication, they can be better informed about the actual needs of the nursing facility.

 Patient-Centered Care

Patient-centered care enhances best-practice leadership in Vila Health and EHR implementation. A study by Kwame & Petrucka (2021) presented that patient-centered care underlines the importance of consultation with patient’s needs, effective communication, and individualized care to improve healthcare outcomes. It also addresses the institutional and personal barriers to creating a patient-centered care and communication continuum (PC4 Model). Patient-centered care leadership techniques could have simplified EHR implementation by focusing on patient needs, efficient data access, and care continuity.

Best-Practice Interdisciplinary Collaboration Strategies

There are the following best-practice interdisciplinary collaboration strategies:

Interdisciplinary Teams

An interdisciplinary team’s strategy could have helped overcome specific challenges during the Vila Health EHR system implementation. This can minimize the system’s complexity and make it easy to use. The VICTORY Model reveals that interdisciplinary teams represent a best-practice approach to promoting collaboration. This model emphasizes diversity, open communication, risk-taking, and cognitive tools to harness the collective creativity of teams, making them a powerful force for innovation and problem-solving across various disciplines and cultures (Tang et al., 2019).

Using this collaborative technique in interdisciplinary teams at Vila Health could improve communication between different departments. It will encourage their inclusive decision-making and provide individualized training, resulting in a smoother EHR adoption process and better patient care in Vila Health.

Clear Communication
