Introduction
The healthcare industry is facing many issues that affect patients, healthcare professionals, and the organization.
An interdisciplinary approach is vital in solving such issues.
An interdisciplinary approach depends on healthcare providers from different departments and the patients working as a team collaboratively.
These teams can be most effective when they share responsibilities and foster role interdependence.
(Reeves et al., 2017).
The issues include medical errors, long hours of waiting at the facility, high cost of care, and privacy.
2
The organizational/patient Issue Identified.
Medical errors are one of the primary healthcare issues that most healthcare organizations face.
This is a primary health issue that was identified at the National health facility.
It is a leading cause of mortality and patient harm within the facility.
Particularly errors occurring during surgery and transplantation.
Guaranteeing patient safety is fundamental, so it is essential to solving issues revolving around medical errors.
(Hanifin & Zielenski, 2020).
Transplantation errors- ABO and graft incompatibility.
Surgical errors- surgical injuries, wrong surgery site, mistaken patient identities.

The Relevance of an Interdisciplinary Team
Communication failure is a common cause of medical errors within most organizations.
Interdisciplinary team collaboration plays a vital role in facilitating communication among healthcare providers.
The interdisciplinary team is a vital part of patient care planning.
Using an interdisciplinary team will enable healthcare providers to work in harmony, communicate issues before delivering care.
This will help reduce surgical and transplantation errors, patient harm, thus improving patient health outcomes.
(Foronda et al., 2016).
Interdisciplinary collaboration increases communication effectiveness among healthcare providers and builds a sense of collaboration and teamwork.

Interdisciplinary Plan Summary Objectives and how likely they are to work
To enable the healthcare providers to improve the communication between them.
To correctly identify patients by verifying their identity.
To identify patients’ risks and safety dangers before surgery or transplant.
These objectives will work when there is effective communication among healthcare providers.
With effective communication, the objectives will be achieved, which will reduce mortality rates and patient harm.
The identity must be confirmed in at least two ways, i.e., confirming the assigned medical record number and the photo.
5
The Role of the Interdisciplinary Team in implementing the objectives
The head of surgical and transplantation incorporate training on effective communication.
In addition, he will make communication part of the facility’s culture.
Nurse X will ensure all healthcare professionals are taught the effects of medical errors and how to reduce them.
Nurse Y will teach others how to identify patients, correct donors, and grafts correctly.
The head surgeon will advise the laboratory technicians on counterchecking the results before dispatching.
Implementation and Resource management
The plan can be implemented by educating all healthcare professionals on patient safety and reducing medical errors.
More highly-skilled staff can be employed to help curb staff shortage.
All the available surgical, laboratory, and other medical equipment are maintained more often.
Purchasing of new equipment to replace the obsolete ones
The plan can be managed by identifying and noting the areas that need improvement and budgeting for them.
The plan provides the amounts required for each resource.
(Manias, 2018).
Implementing and managing the resources is essential in ensuring the objectives for change are met.
7
Evaluation
Reduction in surgical patients’ death will reveal the success of the plan.
Successful surgeries and transplantation for most of the patients.
Reduction of adverse health events to patients receiving an organ transplant, surgery, or any other medication.
Improved and effective communication between healthcare professionals.
Reduced cases of conducting surgery and transplantation on wrong patients and wrong sites.
Realizing all these will show that the plan was successful, and no resources were mismanaged.
8
Conclusion
Patient safety is vital when providing care, and thus medical errors should be avoided at all costs.
All the healthcare workers should accept the inherent issues in their roles as healthcare professionals that influence error-prone work environment.
Effective communication is critical, especially that which involves medical errors. In case of issues regarding medical errors, the interdisciplinary team is vital in helping reduce the issue and the issues associated with it.
Medical errors should be avoided to guarantee patient safety and positive health outcomes
Effective communication on medical errors may promote autonomy and eventually improve patient safety.
In case of issues regarding medical errors, the interdisciplinary team is vital in helping reduce the issue and the issues associated with it.
