Collaboration and Leadership Reflection Video

Hi to everyone. My name is Kristy. In this reflection video, I will discuss the vital role of interprofessional collaboration in Health Promotion and Disease Prevention (HPDP) at the community health center. By an in-depth review of the case study presented, I will demonstrate the complexities of teamwork among healthcare workers. By exploring the issues encountered, this assessment seeks to emphasize the need for successful collaboration in maintaining effective HPDP services for community members. Healthcare team members can better develop interdisciplinary teamwork by considering critical perspectives from diverse medical experts and addressing the problems and ideas for the future (Doornebosch et al., 2022).

Interdisciplinary Collaboration Experience

As a practicing nurse, I took part in an interprofessional endeavor to improve HPDP at the community health center. The collaboration had both advantages and drawbacks. Reflective nursing practice proved crucial for analyzing and enhancing a team’s performance. HPDP’s interprofessional team consists of public health professionals, doctors, nurses, community healthcare providers, and social workers who collaborate to create and administer health promotion initiatives. The team offers patients continuous care, which includes health information, testing, and recommendations for local services (Capella University, n.d.).

Successful Aspects of Interdisciplinary Collaboration

In the investigation of interdisciplinary collaboration for HPDP, several cases were discovered that were very effective. Through the combined efforts of a multidisciplinary team, difficulties were successfully addressed. The team’s collective effort also performed an excellent job of respecting and leveraging our members’ abilities and experience. This was evidenced by the different abilities of team members, which aided in providing comprehensive care to the community. For instance, Community health workers provided health literacy and gathered information on the needs of the community (Rahman et al., 2021).

Nurse Lily Tomski participates in health promotion programs. Furthermore, physicians, such as Dr. Aisha Patel, provided primary care by diagnosing, prescribing medications, and educating patients (Capella University, n.d.). Social workers handle patients’ psychological problems, enabling each team member to contribute to various aspects of the community, contributing to improved health promotion (Ross et al., 2021).

Unsuccessful Aspects of Interdisciplinary Collaboration

In the investigation of HPDP at community health centers, we identified many critical difficulties that hampered the efficiency of multidisciplinary cooperation. The primary challenge is to incorporate health promotion initiatives into medical care. Lack of uniform and standard protocols across departments due to a shortage of information and awareness. It confuses and renders prevention methods ineffective. Another barrier to success was poor interaction and collaboration among the interprofessional group and other community resources, which resulted in adverse health outcomes. The patient appeared to be imprisoned between opposing perspectives due to cultural diversity and logistical challenges with their treatment plan, resulting in inadequate treatment. Introducing culturally appropriate health promotion resources can enhance the comprehension and health of varied communities (Wen et al., 2022).

Furthermore, the physician-patient ratio is a barrier to HPDP and comprehensive treatment. It led to inefficient patient guidance and care. Furthermore, despite efforts to develop open communication approaches, there were circumstances in which real-time information transmission stopped short, causing delays in addressing emerging health risks. Social determinants of health are also crucial barriers to effective HPDP. It can cause health disparities. Lastly, For efficient HPDP, community health data must be collected and analyzed on a timely basis. Delays in data collecting and the translation of research into practice result in negative outcomes (Fagherazzi et al., 2020).
