Homework: Collaboration & Evidence
Competencies Measured
By successfully completing this homework, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies:
1. Competency 1: Analyze the relevance and potential effectiveness of evidence when making a decision.
• Reflect on which evidence you collected that was most relevant and useful when making decisions regarding the care plan.
2. Competency 2: Apply an evidence-based practice model to address a practice issue.
• Explain the ways in which you used an evidence-based practice model to help develop the care plan identifying what interventions would be necessary. This requires a particular evidence-based model, such as the Johns Hopkins, Iowa, Stetler, or other.
3. Competency 3: Plan care based on the best available evidence.
• Propose your own evidence-based care plan to improve the safety and outcomes for the Vila Health patient with a discussion of new content for the care plan.
4. Competency 4: Apply professional, scholarly communication strategies to lead practice changes based on evidence.
• Identify benefits and propose strategies to mitigate the challenges of interdisciplinary collaboration to plan care within the context of a remote team.
• Communicate via video with clear sound and light, and include a narrative of video content.
• Provide a full reference list that is relevant and evidence-based (published within five years), exhibiting nearly flawless adherence to APA format.
Create a 5 to 10 minute video of yourself, as a presenter, in which you will propose an evidence-based plan to improve the outcomes for the Vila Health patient and examine how remote collaboration provided benefits or challenges to designing and delivering the care.
Introduction
As technologies and the health care industry continue to evolve, remote care, diagnosis, and collaboration are becoming increasingly more regular methods by which nurses are expected to work. Learning the ways in which evidence-based models and care can help remote work produce better outcomes will become critical for success. Additionally, understanding how to leverage EBP principles in collaboration will be important in the success of institutions delivering quality, safe, and cost-effective care. It could also lead to better job satisfaction for those engaging in remote collaboration.
Professional Context
Remote care and diagnosis is a continuing and increasingly important method for nurses to help deliver care to patients to promote safety and enhance health outcomes. Understanding best EBPs and building competence in delivering nursing care to remote patients is a key competency for all nurses. Additionally, in some scenarios, while you may be delivering care in person you may be collaborating with a physician or other team members who are remote. Understanding the benefits and challenges of interdisciplinary collaboration is vital to developing effective communication strategies when coordinating care. So, being proficient at communicating and working with remote health care team members is also critical to delivering quality, evidence-base care.
Scenario
The Vila Health: Remote Collaboration on Evidence-Based Care simulation provide the context for this homework.
Instructions
Before beginning this homework, make sure you have worked through the following media:
o Vila Health: Remote Collaboration on Evidence-Based Care.
You may wish to review Selecting a model for evidence-based practice changes. [PDF] and Evidence-Based Practice Models, which help explain the various evidence-based nursing models.
For this homework, you are a presenter! You will create a 5 to 10 minutes video using Kaltura or similar software. In the video:
A. Propose your evidence-based care plan that you believe will improve the safety and outcomes of the patient in the Vila Health Remote Collaboration on Evidence-Based Care media scenario. Add your thoughts on what more could be done for the client and what more information may have been needed.
B. Discuss the ways in which an EBP model and relevant evidence helped you to develop and make decision about the plan you proposed.
C. Wrap up your video by identifying the benefits of the remote collaboration in the scenario, as well as discuss strategies you found in the literature or best practices that could help mitigate or overcome one or more of the collaboration challenges you observed in the scenario.
The following media is an example learner submission in which the speaker successfully addresses all competencies in the homework.
1) Exemplar Kaltura Reflection.
• Note that the scenario that the speaker discusses in the exemplar is different from the Vila Health scenario you should be addressing in your video. So, the type of communication expected is being model, but the details related to the scenario in your submission will be different.
Format your homework according to the give formatting requirements:
• The answer must be using Times New Roman font (size 12), double spaced, typed, with one-inch margins on all sides.
• The response also includes a cover page containing the student's name, the title of the homework, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
• Also include a reference page. The references and Citations should follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
