Assessment 3 Instructions: Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal

For this assessment you will create a 2-4 page plan proposal for an interprofessional team to collaborate and

work toward driving improvements in the organizational issue you identified in the second assessment.

The health care industry is always striving to improve patient outcomes and attain organizational goals. Nurses

can play a critical role in achieving these goals; one way to encourage nurse participation in larger organizational

efforts is to create a shared vision and team goals (Mulvale et al., 2016). Participation in interdisciplinary teams

can also offer nurses opportunities to share their expertise and leadership skills, fostering a sense of ownership

and collegiality.

You are encouraged to complete the Budgeting for Nurses activity before you develop the plan proposal. The

activity consists of seven questions that will allow you the opportunity to check your knowledge of budgeting

basics and as well as the value of financial resource management. The information gained from completing this

formative will promote success with the Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal. Completing this activity also

demonstrates your engagement in the course, requires just a few minutes of your time, and is not graded.

Having reviewed the information gleaned from your professional interview and identified the issue, you will

determine and present an objective for an interdisciplinary intervention to address the issue.

Note: You will not be expected to implement the plan during this course. However, the plan should be

evidence-based and realistic within the context of the issue and your interviewee's organization.

For this assessment, use the context of the organization where you conducted your interview to develop a

viable plan for an interdisciplinary team to address the issue you identified. Define a specific patient or

organizational outcome or objective based on the information gathered in your interview.

The goal of this assessment is to clearly lay out the improvement objective for your planned interdisciplinary

intervention of the issue you identified. Additionally, be sure to further build on the leadership, change, and

collaboration research you completed in the previous assessment. Look for specific, real-world ways in which

those strategies and best practices could be applied to encourage buy-in for the plan or facilitate the

implementation of the plan for the best possible outcome.

Using the Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal Template [DOCX] will help you stay organized and concise. As you

complete each section of the template, make sure you apply APA format to in-text citations for the evidence

and best practices that inform your plan, as well as the reference list at the end.

Additionally, be sure that your plan addresses the following, which corresponds to the grading criteria in the
