Assignment: Allied Health Role HLT 308
This is a CLC assignment.
Complete each of these specific tasks within your assigned Collaborative Learning Community (CLC).
Examine the “CLC Group Project Agreement.”
Read the patient scenario in the interactive learning media “Allied Health Community” at http://lc.gcumedia.com/hlt307v/allied-health-community/allied-health-community-v1.1.html.
Assign an allied health role (from the learning media profiles) to each member of the CLC group.
After each group member is assigned an allied health role, each member must consider and answer the following Key Questions from the perspective of the allied health provider to whom they have been assigned:
What knowledge, skills, and approaches must the allied health provider use in the case study patient’s care?
Who must the allied health provider collaborate with (departments/people) to ensure that care is delivered correctly and on time?
What negative consequences are likely if the patient does not receive the allied health provider’s care?
Compile the individual responses to the three questions as a CLC group and create a PowerPoint presentation in which you:
Compile the responses.
Define the phrase “interprofessional collaboration.”
Describe how collaborative approaches to healthcare result in better outcomes for patients.
Give at least one clinical practice example from your own experience where collaborative care was demonstrated, and explain how this collaboration impacted patient care.
The following items must be included in your PowerPoint presentation: 10 content slides, one reference slide with at least three scholarly peer-reviewed references, and one title slide (which contains the title, the names of the CLC group members, and the current date). One member of the CLC team must submit this presentation to the Instructor.
While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should follow APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the Student Success Center’s APA Style Guide.
A rubric is used for this assignment. Please review the rubric before beginning the assignment to become acquainted with the requirements for successful completion.
This assignment does not have to be turned in to Turnitin.
You should proofread your paper. However, do not rely solely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part, and your grade will suffer as a result. Papers with a high number of misspelled words and grammatical errors will be penalized. Before submitting your paper, go over it in silence and then aloud, and make any necessary changes. It is often beneficial to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Uncorrected mistakes are preferable to handwritten corrections.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point typeface (10 to 12 characters per inch). Smaller or compressed type, as well as papers with narrow margins or single spacing, are difficult to read. It is preferable to allow your essay to exceed the recommended number of pages rather than attempting to compress it into fewer pages.
Large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are also unacceptable, waste trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced, and have a one-inch margin on all four sides of each page. When submitting hard copies, use white paper and print with dark ink. It will be difficult to follow your argument if it is difficult to read your essay.
