Create a 2-4 page plan proposal for an interprofessional team to collaborate and
work toward driving improvements in the organizational issue you identified in the second assessment.
The health care industry is always striving to improve patient outcomes and attain organizational goals. Nurses
can play a critical role in achieving these goals; one way to encourage nurse participation in larger
organizational efforts is to create a culture of ownership and shared responsibility (Berkow et al., 2012).
Participation in interdisciplinary teams can also offer nurses opportunities to share their expertise and
leadership skills, fostering a sense of ownership and collegiality.
You are encouraged to complete the Budgeting for Nurses activity before you develop the plan proposal. The
activity consists of seven questions that will allow you the opportunity to check your knowledge of budgeting
basics and as well as the value of financial resource management. The information gained from completing this
formative will promote success with the Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal. Completing this activity also
demonstrates your engagement in the course, requires just a few minutes of your time, and is not graded.
Demonstration of Proficiency
Competency 1: Explain strategies for managing human and financial resources to promote organizational
health.
Explain organizational resources, including a financial budget, needed for the plan to be a success and the

outcomes.
Describe an objective and predictions for an evidence-based interdisciplinary plan to achieve a specific
objective related to improving patient or organizational outcomes.
Explain the collaboration needed by an interdisciplinary team to improve the likelihood of achieving the plan’s
objective. Include best practices of interdisciplinary collaboration from the literature.
Competency 4: Explain how change management theories and leadership strategies can enable
interdisciplinary teams to achieve specific organizational goals.
Explain a change theory and a leadership strategy, supported by relevant evidence, that are most likely to help
an interdisciplinary team succeed in collaborating and implementing, or creating buy-in for, the project plan.
Competency 5: Apply professional, scholarly, evidence-based communication strategies to impact patient,
interdisciplinary team, and systems outcomes.
Communicate the interdisciplinary plan with writing that is clear, logically organized, and professional, with

Professional Context
This assessment will allow you to describe a plan proposal that includes an analysis of best practices of
interprofessional collaboration, change theory, leadership strategies, and organizational resources with a
financial budget that can be used to solve the problem identified through the interview you conducted in the
prior assessment.
Scenario
Having reviewed the information gleaned from your professional interview and identified the issue, you will
determine and present an objective for an interdisciplinary intervention to address the issue.
Note: You will not be expected to implement the plan during this course. However, the plan should be
evidence-based and realistic within the context of the issue and your interviewee's organization.
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.
