Assignment: Allied Health Role HLT 308

This is a CLC assignment.

Within your assigned Collaborative Learning Community (CLC), complete each of these specific tasks.

Review the “CLC Group Project Agreement” document.

Read the patient scenario in the “Allied Health Community” interactive learning media at http://lc.gcumedia.com/hlt307v/allied-health-community/allied-health-community-v1.1.html

Assign an allied health role (from among those profiled in the learning media) to each member of the CLC group.

Once each member of the group is assigned an allied health role, each member must consider and answer the following Key Questions from the perspective of the allied health provider they have been assigned:

What knowledge, skills, and approaches must the allied health provider employ in the care of the patient featured in the case study?
Who must the allied health provider collaborate with (departments/persons) in order to ensure care is provided correctly and in a timely fashion?
What negative outcomes will likely occur if the patient does not receive the care offered by the allied health provider?
As a CLC group, compile the individual responses to the three questions and create a PowerPoint presentation in which you:

Summarize the responses.
Define the concept of interprofessional collaboration.
Describe how collaborative approaches to healthcare results in positive patient outcomes.
Provide at least one clinical practice example from your own experience in which collaborative care was demonstrated, and describe how this collaboration affected patient care.
Your PowerPoint presentation must include the following: 10 slides for content, one slide for references with a minimum of three scholarly peer-reviewed references, and one title slide (which contains the title, the names of the CLC group members, and the current date). This presentation must be submitted to the Instructor by one member of the CLC team.

While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

You are not required to submit this assignment to Turnitin.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
