Preparing the paper:
-
- Decide on a complex practice or organizational issue involving multiple healthcare disciplines that a nurse leader might encounter.
- Do a brief literature search to determine the scope of the problem. Review best practices as stated in the literature surrounding the problem.
- Examine a practice model that applies to the host organization and addresses the issue. How does the model incorporate the role of various disciplines? How does it address the problem? How might you determine if this model is effective through utilization of national standards and scholarly inquiry?
- Identify at least three professions/disciplines that might be directly or indirectly involved in addressing the issue.
- Interview at least one person from each of the three disciplines who may have experience involving the complex practice or organizational issue being explored (within or outside of the organization). What role does each discipline play in addressing this issue? Is there a particular practice model, guideline, policy, standard of care, or other scholarly product that guides this discipline on this problem? Provide rationale and explanation for this standpoint. Specifically, discuss how the practice model you examined in step three might apply to this discipline? How does this discipline work in conjunction with other members of the team to address this issue? Are there scheduled meeting times regularly? As needed? What would be necessary to adequately address the issue at hand? Submit a transcript of the interview for at least one interview per discipline.
- Based on your findings, propose a plan for addressing the complex practice issue through a multidisciplinary approach. Utilize a practice model, guideline, policy, standard of care, or other scholarly product as a tool in the proposed plan. (You should not create one of these, instead use one that is supported by scholarly evidence that applies to the issue.)
- Ask permission to present an implementation plan through an appropriate venue to the organization. (One example might be creating a YouTubepresentation that will go on the organization’s intranet or social media site. Another example might be presenting a practice model, guideline, policy, standard of care, or other scholarly product at a board or staff meeting.)
- Disseminate your plan to an organizational leader. Acceptance of dissemination is not required for successful completion of this project. However, the student will still be required to ask and create as though they would disseminate and implement the policy. One tip: if the students’ offer is not well received, consider submitting a media item (ppt/YouTubevideo) that explains the proposal to an organizational leader.Practice of immersion experience
- In your final submission, include an executive summary detailing your intervention, the literature that supports this, and the scholarly product utilized (This should be a pre-existing model/policy/other scholarly product as listed above). Additionally, attach the transcript of your interview and any media materials for the intervention that was implemented or disseminated.
