Interdisciplinary Communication Enhancement Proposal

BS
The purpose of this proposal is to tackle the prevalent issue of communication gaps
within the nursing department of HCA Healthcare. The plan, designed for strategic
implementation in this department, aims to enhance internal communication to
facilitate more efficient and effective patient care. The desired outcome of this initiative
Call Us Now (612) 234-7670
is to cultivate a harmonious work environment, improve patient outcomes, and enhance
overall organizational efficiency.
Objective of Proposal
The objective of this interdisciplinary plan is to implement an evidence-based

communication system aimed at mitigating the current communication gap within the
nursing department. Our goal is to foster seamless multidisciplinary communication,
m
reducing miscommunications and thereby improving the quality of patient care. This
improvement objective aligns with recent evidence suggesting that effective
co
interprofessional communication leads to improved patient outcomes and
organizational efficiency (Wosik et al., 2020).
s.
Question and Predictions
e
How will the implementation of an evidence-based communication system
ic
impact miscommunication rates within the nursing department of HCA
Healthcare? We anticipate a reduction of at least 30% in miscommunication rates
rv
within the first six months of implementing the new system as the team adjusts
to the new protocols.
se
What changes can we expect in patient care quality with better communication
across interdisciplinary teams? We predict a 20% increase in measures of patient
ng
care quality, such as patient satisfaction scores and lowered readmission rates,
within the first year post-implementation.
How will the new communication model affect overall team cohesion and job
i
rit
satisfaction levels? Based on the literature on improved communication and

team dynamics, we expect an increase in team cohesion by around 25% and a
W
15% improvement in job satisfaction scores after the first year of using the new
system.
N
What impact will the communication system have on resource utilization in the
hospital? We project a reduction in resource waste by about 15% due to
BS
enhanced coordination and less duplication of tasks following the introduction of

the new communication system.

Change Theory and Leadership Strategy
The chosen change theory is Kotter’s 8-Step Change Model, outlining a series of steps
to effectively implement organizational changes. The leadership strategy is
Transformational Leadership, relying on charismatic and influential leaders to inspire
and motivate the interdisciplinary team. This approach encourages individual
consideration and values creative solutions from team members, fostering a
collaborative environment.
m
Example: Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital implemented Kotter’s 8-step change
model, leading to a culture of interdisciplinary collaboration and an increase in
co
patient-centered care, with regular forums for staff to share ideas, promote
collaboration, and address issues (Frandson et al., 2019).
s.
Example: At Johns Hopkins Hospital, a communication improvement initiative using
e
Lewin’s change theory and transformational leadership resulted in decreased discharge
ic
times and improved patient safety (Mickan et al., 2020).
Collaboration Strategy
rv
se
For an interdisciplinary team to achieve the plan’s objective, strategic collaboration is
imperative. Fostering a collaborative environment characterized by open, respectful,
and transparent communication is crucial. Best practices for interdisciplinary
ng
collaboration include creating an environment where team members can freely express
their thoughts, participate in decision-making, and develop trust. Leadership and
administrators are responsible for the acceptance of the communication system and
i
rit
allocating resources in collaboration with the hospital's resource department.

W
Example: Successful teamwork is not just about collaboration but effective and strategic
planning. Collaboration practices should be modified to fit the unique requirements of
N
the organization, promoting success in achieving the plan’s objectives (Foronda et al.,
2020).
BS
Organizational Resources and Financial Budgeting
To ensure the success of the plan proposal, several organizational resources, including
a financial budget, should be considered. Full-time dedication of leaders is required,
constituting a salary of $80,000 per year. Other team members' salaries will be $30,000
Call Us Now (612) 234-7670
per year per member. The digital nature of the project requires the acquisition of
software licenses and data servers, costing approximately $20,000. Maintenance of
these resources will cost around $5,000 yearly. Access to sensitive patient data may
require a subscription to health data systems or hiring data managers, estimated at
$10,000 for the first year. The total budget for year one is approximately $245,000,
including staff salaries, equipment acquisition, maintenance, and operational costs.
Note: If the plan is not undertaken, the current issues may persist or worsen, impacting
m
patient outcomes, staff morale, and the organization’s reputation. Investing in this plan
could potentially save the organization financially and safeguard its reputation in the
long run (D’Amour & Oandasan, 2020).
