Collaboration among different healthcare professions is important in providing quality patient-centered care. The term interprofessional has largely replaced the term interdisciplinary, although you may see both terms used. Massachusetts Department of Higher Education Nursing Initiative (2016) stated that understanding “the impact of the effective collegial communication on patient outcomes” (p. 39) is essential in professional nursing. While we sometimes collaborate with patients and their families in planning nursing care (Hood, 2014), in this week’s discussion we are considering collaboration between and among different healthcare professions (or disciplines). Since nurses are coordinators of care (Chamberlain College of Nursing, 2016), we need to become experts in the use of communication strategies that enhance and promote interprofessional collaboration. Class, please return to the original assigned discussion topic above. Clearly and thoroughly address the assigned question.
