Assessment Description
The purpose of this assignment is to evaluate different aspects of team development and collaboration within a health care environment and to assess how teamwork directly affects patient care and outcomes.
Select a specific type of health care facility to evaluate for this assignment. Consider hospitals, clinics, blood banks, birth centers, hospice homes, or other types of health care environments. In a 10-12 slide PowerPoint presentation, not including title and references slides, address the following points:
- What kinds of health care professionals work at your selected facility? How do their professional roles and scope of practice differ or overlap?
- What kind of professional teams might your health care facility require? What might these teams be tasked with accomplishing, and which professionals would theoretically participate?
- Describe the group dynamics of an interprofessional team at your selected health care facility and explain how such a team might problem-solve and manage conflict.
- Using at least two examples, explain how strong team communication, productive group dynamics, and effective collaboration positively contribute to quality patient care and better patient outcomes.
- How can your selected healthcare facility better encourage teamwork among its healthcare professionals?
Use two references in addition to your textbook and include speaker notes for each presentation slide.
