Overview: By interviewing a colleague of your choice, you will begin gathering information about an interprofessional collaboration problem that your colleague is experiencing or has experienced. You will identify a change theory and leadership strategies to help solve this problem. You will create a report (using the attached template) on the interview you have conducted with a health care professional. You will identify an issue from the interview that could be improved with an interdisciplinary approach, and review best practices and evidence to address the issue. Approach the issue using the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) Model to create change in an organization.
Instructions: You will report on the information that you collected in your interview, analyzing the interview data and identifying a past or current issue that would benefit from an interdisciplinary approach. This could be an issue that has not been addressed by an interdisciplinary approach or one that could benefit from improvements related to the interdisciplinary approach currently being used. You will discuss the interview strategy that you used to collect information. Your interview strategy should be supported by citations from your chosen sources. Additionally, you will start researching potential change theories, leadership strategies, and collaboration approaches that could be relevant to issue you have identified.
