NUR 307 Module Six Email Guidelines and Rubric

Interprofessional collaboration (IPC) requires various healthcare providers to share their knowledge with one another. Data and information must be accessible for IPC to occur.

Interoperability of technology is required for full IPC and care coordination for patients. As a professional nurse, you should know how important it is to be able to communicate clearly and

succinctly. For example, you may need to express your concerns in an email to leadership. This activity provides an opportunity to practice professional communication skills associated with

various aspects of IPC. This activity will help you with Project Two, where you will be required to explain the impact of information and communication technology on interprofessional

collaboration.

Scenarios

As a professional nurse, you witness the events in one of the provided scenarios. (You may choose which scenario.) To express your concerns, you draft an email to the chief nursing

informatics officer.

Scenario 1: Aaron lives in New York City. After his annual checkup with his primary care physician, he was referred to a nephrologist. The nephrologist required specific labs to be drawn.

Aaron went to a satellite laboratory across the street from the nephrologist’s office. The nephrologist’s EHR cannot receive lab results directly from this lab. Instead, the results must be faxed

from the lab and then manually transcribed into his chart.

Scenario 2: Rayneem is 30 weeks pregnant and has been receiving regular prenatal care at her local women’s health clinic. She and her wife decide to go on a vacation before the baby

arrives. While on vacation, Rayneem experiences a dizzy spell and has a ground-level fall. Her wife rushes Rayneem to the nearest emergency department to make sure that she and the baby

are okay. They tell the triage nurse Rayneem has been receiving prenatal care at their local women’s health clinic, but the nurse cannot retrieve her electronic records.

Scenario 3: Xochitl dislocated and fractured her elbow while at gymnastics practice. She was rushed to the children’s hospital where she was referred to a pediatric orthopedic surgeon. The

surgeon recommended surgery followed by eight weeks of physical therapy. Two weeks into her physical therapy, her parents’ insurance coverage changed, and she had to transfer to a

different health system for the rest of her care. The two physical therapy groups use different EHRs.

Scenario 4: Sam lives 15 miles away from the Texas-Oklahoma border. Their primary care physician is in Texas, but they see a pain specialist in Oklahoma for their chronic back pain. They

arrive at the emergency department, saying that they have extreme back pain. Because of the vicinity to the border and the nationally recognized opioid epidemic, the emergency physicians

have several tools available to evaluate a patient’s opioid-use history to effectively treat the patient.

Directions

Choose one of the provided scenarios to use as the basis for your responses. Examine the scenario for interoperability, interprofessional collaboration, and care coordination. Then draft your

email using the Module Six Email Template in the What to Submit section. Include evidence supporting your concerns. Use at least two scholarly, current (within the last five years)

references to support your work.
