Concepts of integrated risk management as they relate to inter-professional healthcare.

Conduct a critical analysis of one chosen statement (from the list below) and use the literature to support the analysis. The analysis should specifically relate to the communications held between the inter-professional team and the accountability of the Registered Nurse within their scope of practice whilst caring for Mr Roy Jacob.
Step 1:
Choose one (1) of the following statements to start the critical analysis
Statement 1.
In the report of the Inquest into the death Roy Jacob the Coroner identified that: “notwithstanding an employer’s obligation to provide effective training for its clinical workforce, it remains the responsibility of individual health practitioners to maintain their professional competency and professional standards” (p.35).
Statement 2.
In the report of the Inquest into the death Roy Jacob the Coroner identified that: “Failure to recognise and respond to clinical deterioration and non-compliance with early warning and response tools is a recognised issue across the health sector, public and private.”
Statement 3.
In the report of the Inquest into the death Roy Jacob the Coroner identified that: “While aspects of his care were suboptimal, no one individual was responsible for these failings; rather a cascading sequence of events led up to his sudden and unexpected death.”

Step 2: Conduct the analysis
• The analysis should include the definitions of therapeutic communication and accountability and the relationship between the two concepts; the key presenting concerns that lead to issues in communication and accountability.
• Students should use examples from the case to highlight missed opportunities and areas where gaps are noted in the communication and care provided.
• Students must address the relevance of these areas as it relates to nursing communication and the accountability that the nurse exhibits or should have exhibited in these interactions.
• Students must provide a synopsis of suitable strategies to risk mitigate missed opportunities found in the Case.
• The analysis must be supported by relevant and contemporary literature including journal articles. It is expected that a minimum of 8 journal articles will be used.

After successfully completing this assignment students will:

1. Identify and analyse the concepts of integrated risk management as they relate to inter-professional healthcare.
2. Demonstrate an understanding of the application of risk management principles using evidence based health care and ethical frameworks as they relate to safety and quality in case situations.
3. Apply published theory to case situations.
4. Synthesis published material with the student’s own analysis to demonstrate appropriate conclusions.
