Explain the concept of true collaboration in health care and describe  the benefits of effective interdisciplinary collaboration. Then,  describe the characteristics required for effective collaboration,  describe barriers to collaboration, and offer evidence-based strategies  to overcome those barriers.

Every day, in every patient setting, health care professionals must  interact with other health care professionals, as well as with  providers from other professions to share information, conduct safety  and quality checks, and work with patients in a variety of ways to make  sure they understand their health care needs and will be more likely to  comply with treatment plans.

Research consistently shows that interdisciplinary collaboration  and teamwork improves the quality and safety of patient care by  recognizing the skills and experience of each team member, allowing the  team to function more effectively and efficiently. 

You are part of an interdisciplinary team that has been highly  effective. Your supervisor asks you to write a short article about why  the team has been so successful and submit it to the organizational  newsletter for publication.

Preparation

Search the Capella library and the Internet for peer-reviewed  journal articles on collaboration and teamwork in health care. You will  need at least 3 articles to support your work on this assessment.

Understanding family structure and style is essential to patient and family care. Conducting a family interview and needs assessment gathers information to identify strengths, as well as potential barriers to health. This information ultimately helps develop family-centered strategies for support and guidance.

This family health assessment is a two-part assignment. The information you gather in this initial assignment will be utilized for the second assignment in Topic 3.

Develop an interview questionnaire to be used in a family-focused functional assessment. The questionnaire must include three open-ended, family-focused questions to assess functional health patterns for each of the following:

  1. Values/Health Perception
  2. Nutrition
  3. Sleep/Rest
  4. Elimination
  5. Activity/Exercise
  6. Cognitive
  7. Sensory-Perception
  8. Self-Perception
  9. Role Relationship
  10. Sexuality
  11. Coping

Select a family, other than your own, and seek permission from the family to conduct an interview. Utilize the interview questions complied in your interview questionnaire to conduct a family-focused functional assessment. Document the responses as you conduct the interview.

Upon completion of the interview, write a 750-1,000-word paper. Analyze your assessment findings. Submit your questionnaire as an appendix with your assignment.

Include the following in your paper:

  1. Describe the family structure. Include individuals and any relevant attributes defining the family composition, race/ethnicity, social class, spirituality, and environment.
  2. Summarize the overall health behaviors of the family. Describe the current health of the family.
  3. Based on your findings, describe at least two of the functional health pattern strengths noted in the findings. Discuss three areas in which health problems or barriers to health were identified.
  4. Describe how family systems theory can be applied to solicit changes in family members that, in turn, initiate positive changes to the overall family functions over time.

Cite at least three peer-reviewed or scholarly sources to complete this assignment. Sources should be published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the assignment criteria.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

Lyme Disease Case Study

A 38-year-old male had a 3-week history of fatigue and lethargy with intermittent complaintsof headache, fever, chills, myalgia, and arthralgia. According to the history, the patient’ssymptoms began shortly after a camping vacation. He recalled a bug bite and rash on his thigh immediately after the trip. The following studies were ordered:

Studies

Results

Lyme disease test,

Elevated IgM antibody titers against Borrelia burgdorferi(normal: low)

Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR),

30 mm/hour (normal: ≤15 mm/hour)

Aspartate aminotransferase (AST),

32 units/L (normal: 8-20 units/L)

Hemoglobin (Hgb),

12 g/dL (normal: 14-18 g/dL)

Hematocrit (Hct),

36% (normal: 42%-52%)

Rheumatoid factor (RF),

Negative (normal: negative)

Antinuclear antibodies (ANA),

Negative (normal: negative)

Diagnostic Analysis

Based on the patient’s history of camping in the woods and an insect bite and rash on the thigh, Lyme disease was suspected. Early in the course of this disease, testing for specific immunoglobulin (Ig) M antibodies against B. burgdorferi is the most helpful in diagnosing Lyme disease. An elevated ESR, increased AST levels, and mild anemia are frequently seen early in this disease. RF and ANA abnormalities are usually absent.

Critical Thinking Questions

  1. What is the cardinal sign of Lyme disease? (always on the boards)
  2. At what stages of Lyme disease are the IgG and IgM antibodies elevated?
  3. Why was the ESR elevated?
  4. What is the Therapeutic goal for Lyme Disease and what is the recommended treatment.
