Interprofessional Collaboration Project

Interprofessional collaboration has been identified as essential to the delivery of safe, effective, and patient-centered healthcare (Baker, Pulling, McGraw, Dagnone, Hopkins-Rosseel, & Medves, 2008).  As healthcare organizations utilize more collaborative models, it is important to provide future healthcare providers and practitioners with interprofessional education to help support this collaboration within practice upon graduation (Baker et al., 2008).

The purpose of this assignment is to:

1)    Substantiate the importance of interprofessional collaboration within healthcare.

2)    Emphasize the impact interprofessional collaboration can have upon safe, effective, patient-centered care.

3)    Enable you an opportunity to CREATE A PROJECT that involves interprofessional collaboration which you can use to help support optimal care of patients at your place of employment.

Requirements of this project:

1)    Topics must be pre-approved by course faculty. Please post your idea for the project using the assignment link in the Interprofessional Collaboration Project folder found within the Long-Term Assignment link in blackboard. This should be completed by September 18, 2016.

2)    There is no length requirement to this assignment (length should satisfy clear explanation of project idea and impact upon patient care and please consider the point value of this assignment and the length of an assignment that substantiates the 375 points awarded for your work), although APA guidelines should be followed and a title page and reference page should be included.  Please create a project and length appropriate for 375 possible points!  This is designed to be the most substantial project you complete in this course!

3)    The title for this project should not be Professional Collaboration Project. A more professional title should be selected.

4)    There must be at least seven (7) references, with a minimum of five (5) journal articles from scholarly sources.

5)    Submit the paper through the Turnitin link.

6)    Submit the paper using the naming convention given in the Syllabus. For this paper, the example is, SmithMInterprofessionalCollaborationProject.

7)    Before beginning this assignment, please read the following articles for background and reference. (Attachments on Blackboard in Long-Term Assignments folder entitled Interprofessional Collaboration Project).

Hello i need a good comment related with this argument .A paragraph  with no more 300 words.

According to Page-Reeves, fear and health are interconnected, and the article discusses the different dimension of fear concerning health. One of the aspects of fear is cost. The authors relate this to fear by the data they collected it indicated that there were income disparities and the community was poor and lacked insurance; thus people fear to go to the doctor once they get sick because of the cost involved. Another dimension explored by the authors is the discrimination, language, and immigration status. The data maps created by the authors indicated that there was a significant number of non-US citizens who were Spanish speaker and did not speak English in the community.

The participants in the study expressed their feelings on how they encounter discrimination on numerous levels. They felt that people of their status who speak a different language, didn’t have proper citizenship documentation were discriminated against in places where they seek medical attention such as hospitals and doctors clinic, and this made them fear to seek medical care when they are sick. The third dimension covered by the authors and was identified by the participants’ accounts is the cultural disconnect. Many of the participants believed in traditional remedies to treat their health problems, and this included diabetes. This made them fear modern medicine and therefore they did not seek medical attention from doctors or professional health care providers but relied on herbs once they had an ailment (Page-Reeves, 2013).

Yes, I agree that structural violence perpetuates health disparities. This is because from the article the authors were able to demonstrate how structural forces were able to prevent the access to appropriate health care and generate fear among the Hispanic immigrants in Albuquerque and this served to undermine further, health and nurturing inequality (Page-Reeves, 2013).
