SCENARIO

NURS-FPX4010 Interview and Interdisciplinary Issue Identification Presentation

In addition to summarizing the key points of Assessments 2 and 3, you will provide stakeholders and/or leadership with an overview of project specifics as well as how success would be evaluated—you will essentially be presenting a discussion of the Plan, Do, and Study parts of the PDSA cycle. Again, you will not be expected to execute the project, so you will not have any results to study. However, by carefully examining the ways in which your plan could be carried out and evaluated, you will get some of the experience of the thinking required for PDSA.

When creating your PowerPoint for this assessment, it is important to keep in mind the target audience: your interviewee’s organizational leadership. The overall goal of this assessment is to create a presentation that your interviewee could potentially give in his or her organization.

INSTRUCTIONS

Please follow the Capella Guidelines for Effective PowerPoint Presentations [PPTX]. If you need technical information on using PowerPoint, refer to Capella University Library: PowerPoint Presentations.

Be sure that your plan addresses the following, which corresponds to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Please study the scoring guide carefully so you understand what is needed for a distinguished score.

Explain an organizational or patient issue for which a collaborative interdisciplinary team approach would help achieve a specific improvement goal.
Summarize an evidence-based interdisciplinary plan to address an organizational or patient issue.
Explain how the interdisciplinary plan could be implemented and how the human and financial resources would be managed.
Propose evidence-based criteria that could be used to evaluate the degree to which the project was successful in achieving the improvement goal.
Communicate the PowerPoint presentation of the interdisciplinary improvement plan to stakeholders in a professional manner, with writing that is clear, logically organized, and respectful with correct grammar and spelling using current APA style.

There are various ways to structure your presentation; following is one example:

Part 1: Organizational or Patient Issue.
- What is the issue that you are trying to solve or improve?
- Why should the audience care about solving it?
Part 2: Relevance of an Interdisciplinary Team Approach.
- Why is using an interdisciplinary team relevant, or the best approach, to addressing the issue?
- How will it help to achieve improved outcomes or reach a goal?
Part 3: Interdisciplinary Plan Summary.
- What is the objective?
- How likely is it to work?
- What will the interdisciplinary team do?
Part 4: Implementation and Resource Management.
- How could the plan be implemented to ensure effective use of resources?
- How could the plan be managed to ensure that resources were not wasted?
- How does the plan justify the resource expenditure?
Part 5: Evaluation.
- What would a successful outcome of the project look like?
- What are the criteria that could be used to measure that success?
  - How could this be used to show the degree of success?

Again, keep in mind that your audience for this presentation is a specific group (or groups) at your interviewee’s organization and tailor your language and messaging accordingly. Remember, also, that another person will ultimately be giving the presentation. Include thorough speaker’s notes that flesh out the bullet points on each slide.

Interview and Interdisciplinary Issue Identification: Interview Guide

For the Interviews and Interdisciplinary Issue identification assessment, your first step will be to interview a classmate, a nursing colleague, administrator, business partner, or another appropriate person who could provide you with sufficient information regarding an organizational problem that they are experiencing or have experienced, or an area in which they are seeking improvements. This guide provides a selection of questions that you should consider asking your interviewee. They are by no means questions you must ask, or the only questions you should ask. Feel free to ask your own questions and follow-ups as the interview proceeds. These are merely a guide to get you started.

Sample questions

How would you describe your organization?
What is your position within the organization?
What are your primary duties in your position?
How would you describe some current or past issues within your organization?
How did or do these issues affect your ability to complete your duties?
How have you, or the organization, attempted to address these issues?
- What has been done and what were the results?
- What has been the role or actions of leadership in any attempts to address these issues?
  - How effective do you think their actions have been?
- What is the general attitude toward interdisciplinary collaboration at your organization?
- Have you experienced working on an interdisciplinary or interprofessional team?
  - How would you characterize the experience?
  - To what degree do you think overall organizational attitudes toward collaboration influenced this experience?

Interview Summary Paper Outline

Summarize your interview in this section. Be sure to relate concise information about:

the health care organization that was discussed in the interview.
the interviewee’s role and duties.
the relevant issues at the organization.
any relevant comments on the actions taken by the organization or leadership previously and their effectiveness.
the organizational culture related to collaboration.
any relevant collaboration or interdisciplinary team experience you interviewee has had.

The goal of this section is to convey what was discussed at the interview and identify an issue to pursue throughout the rest of this assessment (and future assessments in this course), as well as have enough information to relate theories, strategies, and approaches to the situation at the organization.

Issue Identification

Identify the issue from the interview for which you consider an evidence-based interdisciplinary approach appropriate. Provide one or more specific reasons why an interdisciplinary approach would be appropriate for the issue.

Change Theories That Could Lead to an Interdisciplinary Solution

For this section, look to the literature and describe one or more change theories that would help to develop an interdisciplinary solution to the identified issue. Also, you should briefly note the relevance and credibility of the sources that you cite.

Another way to think through this section is:

What is the change theory?
How could it help create an interdisciplinary solution?
How relevant is the theory to the specific identified issue?
How credible is the source?

Leadership Strategies That Could Lead to an Interdisciplinary Solution

This section is similar to the previous one, except you will be looking to the literature to help you describe one or more leadership strategy that would help you develop an interdisciplinary solution to the identified issue. Also, you should briefly note the relevance and credibility of the sources that you cite.

Another way to think through this section is:

What is the leadership strategy?
How could it help create an interdisciplinary solution?
How relevant is the strategy to the specific identified issue?
How credible is the source?

Collaboration Approaches for Interdisciplinary Teams

Again, this section will be similar to the previous once, except that the focus will be on collaboration approaches. Depending on whether or not your interviewee’s organization uses interdisciplinary teams frequently, your focus in this section may be on how to establish interdisciplinary teams and a collaborative foundation or how to improve the collaboration within an already established teams. You should also briefly note the relevance and credibility of the sources that you cite.

Another way to think through this section is:

What is the leadership approach?
How could it help establish or improve collaboration?
How relevant is the approach to the specific identified issue?
How credible is the source?
