SUBJECT: IMPROVING COLLABORATION IN HEALTH CARE

I humbly write to propose to you the best project that the facility should adopt and

implement to improve the quality of health care delivery to patients. Proper coordination in a

health care facility is one of the best ways of improving the quality of health services. However,

one of the best methods which can be used to achieve is through improving collaboration in

health care services. Kindly assess my analysis to understand whether this project will help prove

services delivery within the facility.

Barriers to Improving Collaboration in Healthcare

Even though adopting improving collaboration in healthcare will advance the quality of services

provided to patients, the following berries are likely to affect this project:

i. Lack of Reliable and Effective Governance Structure

Existence of inappropriate governance in healthcare facilities is the major obstacle that can

adversely affect proper adoption and implementing the project of improving collaboration in

healthcare. However, this barrier can be eliminated this barrier; the management of the facility

can adopt advance managerial technology to help in establishing suitable governance structures.

ii. Inadequate Communication Mechanism and Tools

Insufficient mechanisms and tools is another problem that is likely to affect the effectiveness of

achieving the goal of improving collaboration in healthcare (Homeyer et al., 2018). Currently,

the facility lacks appropriate tools and mechanisms that can be used to promote cooperation in

healthcare. To address this issue, the facility can use telecommunication systems to enhance

Maria, I think this is a great idea. The only thing I see going forward is this might not be focused enough to build the other papers. When you talk about collaboration do you mean ACOs? Department collaboration? I would make sure to discuss a very specific intervention.
Perhaps this could be the focus? How to implement this for collaboration?

collaboration and communication between different departments within the facility to achieve

the objectives of the project.

iii. Challenges in Establishing Appropriate Skills And Team Size

Achieving the goals of this project can also be affected by the problem of creating

appropriate skills and team size. In most instances, team size can easily influence the efforts of

promoting collaboration in health care (Homeyer et al., 2018). As well, this problem can affect

the success of this project. However, to prevent the adverse effects of this challenge, the facility

can use science and technology to create a sizable team that can easily be managed to achieve the

goals of this project.

Impacts of Implementation of Science on Organizational Policy

Implementation of science on the organizational policy will help the facility to realize various

goals. The following are some of the benefits that the use of science will contribute to this

facility:

Increasing Communication

One of the most significant advantages that the use of science will bring to the

organization is the improvement of communication and interaction among employees within the

facility. When the facility uses science, it will be possible to communicate among health care

professionals and patients who are seeking medical attention from the facility (Adams &

Markowitz, 2018). Also, the use of advanced telecommunication systems will enable the facility

to achieve its project goal of improving collaboration and coordination in healthcare.

Services Enhancement

The use of science to achieve the organization's policies will help to improve innovation

and creativity among health care professionals. As a result, this will help to come up with

So this seems like you are discussing departmental collaboration. Do you mean across different departments or within all departments themselves? How will you know what is an appropriate size?

methods that can help to enhance the quality of service offered to patients (Adams & Markowitz,

2018). Therefore; it is imperative to support this project to enable the facility to achieve its

organizational policies. In doing so, the facility will meet both its’ short and long-term goals.

Continuous Improvement

Usually, the main reason for the application of science in an organization to achieve goals and

objectives through persistence quality improvement. Similarly, the implementation of science

will help to promote constant quality improvement within the facility (Bunger & Lengnick-Hall,

2019). Consequently, this will enable the facility to achieve its policies. Thus, it is prudent to

support this initiative of improving collaboration in healthcare. When the facility adopts this

project, the facility will realize consistent quality, thus enhance; it will be possible to achieve

organizational policies.

Improving Health Professional Development

The use of science by health care providers will help them to acquire more skills and

knowledge. As such, this will improve their skills and expertise gradually. Learning more skills

will enable health care providers to provide quality health services to patients (Bunger &

Lengnick-Hall, 2019). Hence, it is vital to adopt the use of science to help in improving the

development of health professionals.

Recommendation for Implementation of Science

For the facility to achieve its goals of improving collaboration in health care, science can be used

in various ways to enhance the achievement of goals of this project. The following are the main

reasons why the facility needs to employ the use of science:

1. The use of science will help the facility improve coordination and communication

between health care providers and patients. As a result, this will enhance the quality of

I agree! I can tell you understand the purpose of implementation science. You must use evidence based practices that have been studied to accomplish your goals.

services offered to patients. Thus, there is a need to implement the use of science within

the facility.

2. The use of science will help the facility enhance collaboration and teamwork amongst

health care providers. Successively this will improve the quality of services offered to

patients. Therefore, it is prudent for the facility to encourage the use of science in all its

undertakings.

3. It is important to use science in this project be it will improve the efficiency and

effectiveness of the project. Therefore, it essential to use science to run this project

because it will ensure the smooth running of all organizational activities.

4. The use of science will help the facility to enhance proper time management. Since the

use of science will involve advanced technology, this will promote collaboration and

teamwork amongst health care providers. As a result, this will improve the quality of

services offered to patients. In consequence, it is vital to encourage the use of science in

running all organizational activities.

Based on the above discussions, I would like to consider my proposal to enable the facility to

achieve its goal of improving collaboration in healthcare.

Respectively,

Maria Duplantier

Research Analyst.

Here I would include an example with numbers to show that your theory has worked. All of these points need to be shown with examples. That's how implementation science can really shine through.
