Building Collaborative Relationships

Investigate communications and collaborative relationships in a case that had a negative outcome. Then, prepare an agenda for a multidisciplinary debriefing meeting with the care coordination department, in which you will present and justify your recommendations for improvements in the future provision of care. Collaborative communication skills are essential for care coordinators; they must be able to make decisions about patient care with diverse and changing groups of stakeholders. These decisions must guide the care coordinator in providing care and client advocacy that is competent, unbiased, and sensitive to patients' diverse needs. This assessment provides an opportunity for you to investigate breakdowns in communication and other challenges in a case that had a negative outcome. The Joint Commission and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality are two of many regulatory agencies that have identified the lack of communication and collaboration as a major cause of medical errors that should not occur. Evidence-based best practices suggest that an interdisciplinary and collaborative team reduces substantial medical errors and improves the quality and safety of patient care on a national level. Governmental and regulatory agencies have stressed that effective collaboration is key to improving care for all patients. For this assessment, you will investigate communications and collaborative relationships in a case that had a negative outcome and propose a more effective strategy for future care. Based on the results of your investigation, you will prepare an agenda for a multidisciplinary debriefing meeting with the care coordination department. In addition, you will need to present and defend your recommendations for improvement. SEE ATTACHED Investigate communications and the collaborative relationships in the Sibanda case.
