Context:

Influential leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr., Mahatma Gandhi, and Abraham Lincoln recognized the power of working collaboratively, rather than in isolation, to provide the most effective leadership solutions to the most challenging times in history (Northouse, 2016).

People want to work for individuals who have effective personal and professional leadership qualities, as well as effective communication skills. The ability to communicate with diverse sets of stakeholders about a problem, course of action, or recommendations involves a systemic and continuous process of explaining, listening, and understanding (Manning & Curtis, 2012).

Today, working professionals are challenged to become better communicators. Effective communication reflects a leader’s interpersonal skills and emotional intelligence. In addition, it enhances credibility and fosters ethical and transparent approaches to organizational practices (Woodward & More, 2010).

Preparation

Health care leaders often find that resolving a problem in delivering safe, high-quality health care requires the combined effort of a number of agencies, departments, and individuals.

For this assessment, identify a quality-related situation or problem relevant to your professional practice or area of interest that requires the collaborative effort of several departments and individuals to resolve. You will assume the role of team leader and draft a proposal for the organization’s executive leadership that outlines why this interprofessional team is necessary, who should take part in the collaboration, how the team will function, and how progress will be reported.

A project proposal should identify the situation or problem, identify the causes or contributing factors, present a plan of action, provide details about the plan, and provide reasons why the plan should be undertaken.

Note: Remember, you can submit all or a portion of your draft to Smarthinking for feedback before you submit the final version of your proposal for this assessment. However, be mindful of the turnaround time for receiving feedback if you plan on using this free service.

Proposal Requirements

Note: The requirements outlined below correspond to the grading criteria in the Interprofessional Collaboration scoring guide. At a minimum, be sure to address each point. In addition, you are encouraged to review the performance level descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be assessed. You are provided an example proposal that illustrates what proficient-level work for this assessment looks like.

• Apply correct APA formatting to all in-text citations and references.

• Express your main points, arguments, and conclusions coherently.
• Use correct grammar and mechanics.
• Be sure to support your claims, arguments, and conclusions with credible evidence from 3–5 current, scholarly or professional sources.
• Proofread your writing.

Plan Content

• Analyze the factors that have contributed to the problem. ( Hint:Examine the reasons for ineffective communication, not just the communication itself. Reasons may include staff burnout, workload, staffing shortfalls, attitudes, assumptions, and so on.)

• Explain why an interprofessional team is needed to address the problem and achieve expected project outcomes.
• Determine who should be on the team. Identify the disciplines or areas team members should come from and any specific job titles prospective team members should hold.
• Describe the knowledge and expertise each discipline has to offer in resolving the situation. In addition, consider the level of creativity and problem-solving skills that are needed.

• Encouraging participation by all team members.
• Engaging reluctant or resistant team members.
• Maintaining a respectful platform for members to voice their ideas.
• Develop a strategy for communicating progress by the team to executive leadership.
• Determine which approach to communicating with leaders will be most effective and efficient.
