Assessment 3 Building Collaborative Relationships
PREPARATION
For this assessment, you will investigate communications and collaborative relationships in a case that had a negative outcome and propose a more effective strategy for future care. Based on the results of your investigation, you will prepare an agenda for a multidisciplinary debriefing meeting with the care coordination department. In addition, you will need to present and defend your recommendations for improvement.
