This is a Collaborative Learning Community (CLC) assignment.
For this assignment, your group will be looking at the role of interdisciplinary communication regarding professionalism in the workplace. Consider all the different types of communication that take place within a health care environment and what kinds of barriers could potentially hinder communication.
Create a 10-15 slide PowerPoint presentation that addresses the following points:
- Discuss the importance of respectful language in the workplace. How can this be challenging in a health care environment? What barriers to communication might arise from working in a health care environment?
- Explain the essential components of interprofessional communication. Identify a standardized communication tool used within health care and discuss how this tool can assist with clear and professional communication across disciplines.
- Discuss how integrity, ethics, and accountability play a role in ensuring appropriate communication in the workplace, both among professionals and between health care professionals and patients.
- How can health care professionals maintain respectful conversation when disagreeing on approaches to use with a patient? How can effective communication facilitate a positive patient outcome in such scenarios?
- Provide at least one example from a group member's experience when collaborative care was demonstrated within clinical practice and describe how this collaboration affected patient care.
Use three references in addition to your textbook.
