Description
For this assessment, you will create a 2–4 page report on an interview you have conducted with a health care professional. You will identify an issue from the interview that could be improved with an interdisciplinary approach, and review best practices and evidence to address the issue. As a baccalaureate-prepared nurse, your participation and leadership in interdisciplinary teams will be vital to the health outcomes for your patients and organization. One way to approach designing an improvement project is to use the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle. For this assessment, you will not be implementing all of the PDSA cycle. Instead, you are being asked to interview a health care professional of your choice to determine what kind of interdisciplinary problem he or she is experiencing or has experienced in the workplace. This interview, in Assessment 2, will inform the research that you will conduct to propose a plan for interdisciplinary collaboration in Assessment 3.Length of submission: Use the provided template. Most submissions will be 2–4 pages in length. Be sure to include a reference page at the end of the plan.Number of references: Cite a minimum of 3 sources of scholarly or professional evidence that support your central ideas. Resources should be no more than 5 years old.APA formatting: Make sure that in-text citations and reference list follow current APA style.Portfolio Prompt: Remember to save the final assessment to your ePortfolio so that you may refer to it as you complete the final Capstone course.

Interview and Interdisciplinary Issue Identification: Interview Guide
For the Interviews and Interdisciplinary Issue identification assessment, your first step will be to
interview a classmate, a nursing colleague, administrator, business partner, or another appropriate person
who could provide you with sufficient information regarding an organizational problem that they are
experiencing or have experienced, or an area in which they are seeking improvements. This guide
provides a selection of questions that you should consider asking your interviewee. They are by no means
questions you must ask, or the only questions you should ask. Feel free to ask your own questions and
follow-ups as the interview proceeds. These are merely a guide to get you started.
Sample questions
•
How would you describe your organization?
•
What is your position within the organization?
•
What are your primary duties in your position?
•
How would you describe some current or past issues within your organization?
•
How did or do these issues affect your ability to complete your duties?
•
How have you, or the organization, attempted to address these issues?
o
What has been done and what were the results?
o

•

•
Have you experienced working on an interdisciplinary or interprofessional team?
o
How would you characterize the experience?
o
To what degree do you think overall organizational attitudes toward collaboration
