In my research during this week, I came across a campaign for action website. Just in a few words, this is a website explores strategies that can help foster professional collaborations. According to the site (NOT CITED), it is necessary for nurses to collaborate with all advocates of health education, business, and city planning to promote well-being for all members of the community. One of the things I found interesting about the website is the fact that it has a well-formatted content and also the fact that it is fast to load (Kim, 2016). Having a well-formatted content makes it easier for the visitor to get the message. THIS HERE IS NO WHERE TO BE FOUND FROM THIS REFERENCE

Interprofessional collaboration plays a vital role in the healthcare sector in the sense that it blends complementary strengths. Collaboration brings together different experts who then share their knowledge and skills. Sharing knowledge and skills between professionals from various fields helps nurture trust among the experts. Moreover, trust inspires professionals to delegate more duties to each other (Hoste, 2015). This is usually due to the fact that collaboration makes the professionals to understand each other. (REALLY?)

Additionally, Interprofessional collaboration fosters creativity and also promotes a wider sense of creativity among the professionals. Creativity results from the professionals’ role in trying to solve the problem facing them. (REPETITIVE) During the problem-solving process, collaborating professionals are given time to propose possible solutions to their problems. All proposals are pooled together and evaluated one after the other. The best suggestion is selected and immediately implemented (Kim, 2016). All the professionals that participated in the selection of the best suggestion to the problem being faced are then asked to participate in the implementation of the solution. Professionals also monitor the solution to ensure that everything goes on well. (SO CONFUSING)
