Capella 4010 Assessment The Role of Reflective Nursing Practice in Improving Future Collaboration

Reflective nursing practice is a useful approach for potential collaboration because it encourages nurses to critically analyze and become cautious and self-aware of their prior encounters (Rasheed et al., 2021).  Reflection allows nurses to find opportunities for development, including boosting patient communication and defining duties within a multidisciplinary group. Nurses can promote honest discourse, anticipate issues, and implement standard clinical procedures (Pangh et al., 2019).

This reflective strategy encourages nurses to be engaged in collaborative discussions, resulting in improved coordination during HPDP initiatives. Reflective practice also assists nurses in fostering empathy and compassion, enabling them to collaborate more effectively to achieve a common goal. Nurses can assist in promoting the culture of constant enhancement, which is vital to interprofessional collaborative work and the healthcare of the community (Marshall et al., 2022).

Inefficiencies in Human Resource Management due to Poor Collaboration

Evidence in the literature has revealed that inefficient interaction and collaboration within medical facilities waste both human and financial resources for those dealing with HPDP. For instance, Alderwick et al. (2021), demonstrate that when medical professionals do not collaborate successfully for HPDP, it can result in increased costs, ineffective care, and recurrent failures because of lack of compliance to standard protocol.

Tiwary et al. (2021), promote this perspective, stating that poor communication and coordination among teams lead to patient delay in therapy and insufficient use of resources. Inappropriate collaboration leads to financial burden due to poor patient care. It ultimately demands more financial resources and funding. It has been reported that about 27% of clinical negligence results from communication difficulties.
