For this assessment, you will report on the information that you collected in your interview, analyzing the interview data and identifying a past or current issue that would benefit from an interdisciplinary approach. This could be an issue that has not been addressed by an interdisciplinary approach or one that could benefit from improvements related to the interdisciplinary approach currently being used. You will discuss the interview strategy that you used to collect information. Your interview strategy should be supported by citations from the literature. Additionally, you will start laying the foundation for your Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal (Assessment 3) by researching potential change theories, leadership strategies, and collaboration approaches that could be relevant to issue you have identified. Please be certain to review the scoring guide to confirm specific required elements of this assessment. 
When submitting your plan, use the Interview and Issue Identification Template [DOCX],  which will help you to stay organized and concise. As you complete the template, make sure you use APA format for in-text citations for the evidence and best practices that are informing your plan, as well as for the reference list at the end.
Additionally, be sure to address 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.
Summarize an interview focused on past or current issues at a health care organization.
Identify an issue from an interview for which an evidence-based interdisciplinary approach would be appropriate.
Describe potential change theories and leadership strategies that could inform an interdisciplinary solution to an organizational issue.
Describe collaboration approaches from the literature that could facilitate establishing or improving an interdisciplinary team to address an organizational issue.
Communicate with writing that is clear, logically organized, and professional, with correct grammar and spelling, and using current APA style.

SBAR stands for Situation, Background, Assessment, and Recommendation. SBAR was originally designed as a communication tool for nurses. They soon added the idea that it could also be utilized for reports. The following link gives an example of how to use the SBAR tool as a reporting device.
Instructions:
Read the How to Give a Nursing Handoff Report Using SBAR article. ( https://nursebrain.com/2021/05/how-to-give-a-nursing-handoff-report-using-sbar/ )
Based on the example given, develop a report sheet that contains the categories that are important when giving a report.
Save the report sheet, and share it with your colleagues.

Instructions: Imagine that you are a member of a Quality Improvement Team. Identify a problem in healthcare to apply the DMAIC process to reduce waste, and error or improve patient satisfaction. Be sure that the problem is manageable and specific versus broad in scope.  For example, while the nursing shortage is too broad in scope for this assignment, consider investigating efficient staffing of a local emergency department experiencing fluctuating patient volumes over times of the day/days of the week. Find credible and recent sources (within 5 years) to support your discussion of the problem. You are creating your own DMAIC process for your problem rather than reporting on how a single article employed the DMAIC process to a problem of practice. The use of multiple sources to support your claims and interventions adds credibility and integrity to the quality improvement process.

You are the nurse caring for a 48-year Leslie Collins, retired army officer for the United States military, He arrives to the emergency department after experiencing chest pain and shortness of breath. His EKG indicated he had a myocardial infarction (MI). He has a history of hypertension and high cholesterol. He states he used to smoke about 15 years ago, he has no other reported risk factors.
Based on this information, your prior knowledge of this client (refer to medical card from the Collins-Kim family tree interactive), and your knowledge of the pathophysiology of myocardial infarction (MI), respond to the following prompts:
Thoroughly explain the pathophysiology of myocardial infarction (MI). Use a scholarly or authoritative source to support your answer.

What members of the interdisciplinary team need to be included for holistic patient-centered care? Provide a rationale and support with a scholarly source.
Additionally, Leslie Collins has a history of HTN, has high cholesterol, and is an ex-smoker.

Read the following case study:
You are a staff nurse working in
an intensive care unit and assigned to care for a 75-year-old African American
man who had coronary artery bypass graft surgery four days ago. The patient has
a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbated by heavy
smoking. His postoperative course has been difficult, and he has suffered
several setbacks. Staff members, despite their diligent efforts, have not been
able to wean him off the ventilator since the surgery. He has required frequent
suctioning throughout the shift, and he is being evaluated for the development
of ventilator-associated pneumonia.
Today, when returning from lunch,
you observed that an experienced nurse was suctioning your patient. His
secretions were thick, and you observed that the nurse was instilling saline
into the patient’s endotracheal tube as she was suctioning him. The patient
turned red and began coughing, and it was obvious he was in distress.
Develop a plan to address nursing theory gaps in this scenario,
including how theory, research, and practice interact to create positive
patient outcomes.
Define the theory-practice gap and describe what impact this
potential gap can have on nursing practice and patient care.
Format your assumptions and findings of the theory-practice gap in
a concept map. Show alignment of nursing theory and its relation to the nursing
process (including alignment with critical thinking and clinical
decision-making) for an improved nursing care plan. Access the Technology Resources Library to
locate visual presentation resources.
Submit your assignment. 

Nurses often become motivated to change aspects within the larger health care system based on their real-world experience. As such, many nurses take on an advocacy role to influence a change in regulations, policies, and laws that govern the larger health care system.
For this assignment, identify a problem or concern in your state, community, or organization that has the capacity for advocacy through legislation. Research the issue and use the “Advocacy Through Legislation” template, attached, to complete this assignment.
You are required to cite a minimum of three sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the last 5 years, appropriate for the assignment criteria, and relevant to nursing practice.
