Interprofessional collaboration and Fall Prevention (Responding to the assignment of other student)
ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
*ASSIGNMENT: I need to respond to the assignment of other student (see uploaded)
- Briefly Discuss about how interprofessional collaboration has impacted healthcare by improving quality of care and safety of the patients and how nurses must lead interprofessional teams to collaborate for optimal health of the populations and more cost-effective health care.
- Discuss about the positive impact of interprofessional collaboration in decreasing falls in the elderly (this is what the student is discussing). You can make statements like “This nurse agrees with the writer about….” Then discuss about it.
“Interprofessional teams have gained widespread acceptance as important to the provision of quality care, safety, and efficiencies within health care settings”
“As health care rapidly evolves to promote person-centered care, evidence-based practice, and team-structured environments, nurses must lead interprofessional (IP) teams to collaborate for optimal health of the populations and more cost-effective health care. Four professions-nursing, medicine, social work, and pharmacy-formed a teaching team to address fall prevention among older adults”

YOU ALSO HAVE SEVERAL ARTICLES I SENT YOU RECENTLY ABOUT INTERPROFESSIONAL COLLABORATION
* I’m a nurse practitioner (Advanced practice nurse). This assignment is for a DNP (Doctor of nursing practice) class and the grading is rigorous including grammar and APA style.
*Please don’t start with sentences that start with “this, these, it…etc” this is vague and not use in formal writing. Need to specify what we are talking about. Also don’t use citations in the middle of the sentence. Avoid “as well as” as much as possible. Thank you!
