While all allied health care professionals possess specialized knowledge of fields, applying that knowledge in the clinical setting requires each practitioner to view his or her role as a vital component of the greater whole, if cost-effective quality care is to be rendered.
After familiarizing yourself with content of the different views in the “Allied Health Community” media, select “Patient Process,” by
selecting “Scenarios” and selecting “Patient Process,” located under the “Views” drop down window (Make sure that “Patient Process” is on the “ON” mode). This component of the media illustrates those allied health professions that have direct interactions with the patient. Based on this media component, discuss the following:
Why it is important for the practitioner of the health care profession to have a basic understanding of the collaborative team’s scope of practice and role in order to deliver cost-effective quality care?
What communication skills would the practitioner need to learn in order to effectively communicate research with the collaborative team in order to achieve the desired outcomes?
When discussing communication skills with the collaborative team, consider one of the following situations:
Communicating with people of different cultures, race, or gender.
Communicating to achieve conflict resolution.
Communicating to create team building.
How would you adapt your communication style in order to become more effective in achieving your desired outcome?
Cite at least one reference to support your rationale using APA documentation.
You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
