Collaboration and Leadership Reflection Video
Good morning/afternoon/evening, everyone! Welcome to our presentation on the crucial role of interprofessional collaboration in healthcare and its profound impact on patient care outcomes. I am [Your Name], and I am genuinely grateful for being able to fully disclose and expand on my Interprofessional Teamwork experience and suggest comprehensive initiatives to effectively increase the degree of Interprofessional collaboration in the healthcare institution of our organization. The more I go through the topic at hand, the more I will lean on a lot of research to give you all the necessary recommendations.
Enhancing Interprofessional Collaboration for Improved Patient Care Outcomes
The interprofessional project I had the amazing chance to work on was aptly prepared to ensure high-quality care for our healthcare department. Through a self-reflective exercise with sincere consideration, it is in the light of this experience that one realizes that it is not enough to honor the achievements we gained merely but also to speak candidly about the deficiencies seen in our collaboration. Another crucial point that contributed to the rather fast realization of given aims was the creation of efficient and open communication paths linked with frequent updating in the work progress. This sincere mode of communication indeed introduced unity to the whole team and made them remain informed and on track of the target. On the other hand, some gaps arose between our collaboration ventures, particularly where we hadn’t concentrated on defining different roles and responsibilities among the team members. Kaiser et al. (2022) assert that a more explicit explanation of other roles would reduce the duplication of efforts, lower the chances of confusion, and finally mitigate the conflicts, ultimately enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of the entire collaboration as team members strive to attain the optimal outcomes.
Impact of Poor Collaboration on Human and Financial Resource Management in Healthcare
The precisely vital role of interprofessional collaboration is beyond imagination as it stands to ensure the best healthcare practice. Navajas (2023), in his research papers, has proved that the interdependent involvement of everyone in the team can efficiently utilize both human resources and money. In addition, the level of productivity and the rate at which patient care outcomes improve will increase. However, our time revealed the unfavorable consequences that emanate where no help from effective teamwork is available, such as wastage of resources, intrateam conflicts, and failure of the projects to meet the success. This straightforward fact highlights the fact that the skill of teamwork is something indispensable, without which the avoidance of the wasting of resources and the accomplishing of organizational objectives is impossible.
As we look further into the principles that make up our interdisciplinary team, we can see how different these manifestations of non-cooperation are, with the major part being the severe lack of information sharing and fair use of resources. Due to this huge gap in our workforce demography, we could only partially realize all the potential since having all the members in the group is essential. The absence of particular power adversely affected how the project was run and accomplished. However, to the devastating effect, not only we as a team but even the whole organization was impaired because our colleagues working in different departments were discouraged from applying to our department, so a large amount of talent was driven away. This implies the pressing need for more robust leadership management practices concerning stitching the interprofessional relationships within the healthcare system.
Leadership Strategies That Improve an Interdisciplinary Team’s Ability to Achieve Its Goals
Transformational leadership as a pillar of interdisciplinary teams is one of the most inspiring strategies recognized in the literature. Iqbal et al. (2019) point out transformational leadership as a theory that has an exploratory nature, which increases empowerment and motivates followers for a long-term vision. Moreover, research by Newman (2023) affirms that the increasing importance of interdisciplinary teams for collaborative scientific discoveries underscores the need for meticulous strategies to achieve research objectives while mitigating potential conflicts. Through the embodiment of cardinal characteristics such as visionary leadership, empowerment, and growth of a cooperative position, transformational leaders possess the power to infuse the team with a resonant accountability associated with a purpose and direction. Brown et al. (2023) indicate that the overarching aim of team science is to enhance patient care, emphasizing improvements in population health outcomes through collaborative research and interdisciplinary methodologies. Implementing the abovementioned leadership can lead to synergy, a non-ostatious morale-boosting camaraderie, and project outcomes.
However, interdisciplinary collaboration can only be implemented after creating exceptional strategies to enhance teamwork relationships and cooperation. One of the tactics mentioned by O’Daniel et al. (2021) says that communication should be clear and organized with information sharing. Implementing professional information channels is necessary for the appropriate and orderly distribution of relevant details, for creating a democratic culture that will provide an opportunity for transparent interaction, and for every employee to be updated and aware of the project’s happenings. Adopting these protocols instills a sense of earning, inline, working, and speedy decision-making, leading to an increase in collaboration and, ultimately, a triumphant result for the squad.
In conclusion, based on the individual’s continuous deliberation on her experience of interprofessional collaboration, it becomes obvious that the performance of the team and teamwork is the key to the project’s success in healthcare settings. Integrating transformational leadership techniques and clear communication protocols can begin a reconstructive time of transdisciplinary performance, resource adequacy, and excellent health outcomes. As stewards of this vital understanding, it falls not only on us but also on us to actualize these precious recommendations and pass them on to leadership and colleagues alike, thereby cementing a culture founded on collaboration and unshaken professional standards across the self-sustaining fabric of the organization. Our vision, which thrives on limitlessness and a determined spirit, will soon be condensed to benefit the patient’s treatment and our organization’s triumph.
Thank you for affording me your undivided attention, and I eagerly anticipate the collective realization of our shared vision.

Introduction
Interprofessional collaboration is a critical aspect of a nurse’s work. Through interprofessional collaboration, practitioners and patients share information and consider each other’s perspectives to better understand and address the many factors that contribute to health and well-being (Sullivan et al., 2015). Essentially, by collaborating, healthcare practitioners and patients can have better health outcomes. Nurses, who are often at the frontlines of interacting with various groups and records, are full partners in this approach to health care.
Reflection is a key part of building interprofessional competence, as it allows you to look critically at experiences and actions through specific lenses. From the standpoint of interprofessional collaboration, reflection can help you consider potential reasons for and causes of people’s actions and behaviors (Saunders et al., 2016). It also can provide opportunities to examine the roles team members adopted in a given situation as well as how the team could have worked more effectively.
As you begin to prepare this assessment you are encouraged to complete the What is Reflective Practice? activity. The activity consists of five questions that will allow you the opportunity to practice self-reflection. The information gained from completing this formative will help with your success on the Collaboration and Leadership Reflection Video assessment. Completing formatives is also a way to demonstrate course engagement
