Instructions
For this assessment, use the context of the organization where you conducted your
interview to develop a viable plan for an interdisciplinary team to address the issue you
identified. Define a specific patient or organizational outcome or objective based on the
information gathered in your interview.
The goal of this assessment is to clearly lay out the improvement objective for your
planned interdisciplinary intervention of the issue you identified. Additionally, be sure to
further build on the leadership, change, and collaboration research you completed in the
previous assessment. Look for specific, real-world ways in which those strategies and
best practices could be applied to encourage buy-in for the plan or facilitate the
implementation of the plan for the best possible outcome.
