INTRODUCTION
 The nursing profession is faced with increasingly
complex health care issues driven by technological
and medical advancements, an ageing population,
increased numbers of people living with chronic
disease, and spiraling costs.
 Collaboration is a substantive idea repeatedly
discussed in health care circles.
 Though the benefits are well validated,
collaboration is seldom practiced.
2
mathewvmaths@yahoo.co.in
MEANING
 The word collaboration is derived from the Latin
word ‘co’ and ‘laborare’ which mean “work
together.”
 That means the interaction among two or more
individuals
 Collaboration encompass a variety of actions such
as
 Communication,
 Information sharing,
 Coordination,
 Cooperation,
 problem solving,
 negotiation 3
mathewvmaths@yahoo.co.in
DEFINITIONS
 Collaboration is the most formal inter
organizational relationship involving shared
authority and responsibility for planning,
implementation, and evaluation of a joint effort -
Hord, 1986
 Collaborative care ‘as partnership relationship
between doctors, nurses and other health care
providers with patients and their families’ -
Virginia Henderson

using a multidisciplinary, integrated, participative
framework
 Enhance continuity across continum of care
 Improve client and family satisfaction with care
 Provide quality, cost effective, research based care
 Promote mutual respect, communication
 Develop interdependent

NEED FOR COLLABORATION IN
HEALTH CARE SERVICES
Consumer wants and needs
 Health care consumers are demanding
comprehensive, holistic and compassionate health
care that is also affordable.
 They want expert, humanistic care that integrate
the available technology and provide information
and services related to health promotion and illness
prevention.
 Previously people expected a physician to make
decision about their care: today however
consumers expect to be involved in making any
decision 6
mathewvmaths@yahoo.co.in
SELF HELP INITIATIVE
 Today many individuals seek answers for acute and
chronic health problems through non traditional
approaches to health care.
 Alternative medicines and support groups are
among two of the most popular self help choices.
 The most commonly used therapies are relaxation
techniques, chiropractic treatment, massage
imagery, spiritual healing etc.
7
mathewvmaths@yahoo.co.in
CHANGING DEMOGRAPHY AND EPIDEMIOLOGY
 The growing number of older adult combined with
the fact that the average older adult has three or
more chronic conditions, will greatly influence the
health care system and the insurer in the future.
 Closely related to various epidemiology influence
posted by chronic illness.
8
mathewvmaths@yahoo.co.in
HEALTH CARE ACCESS
 Several alternative health care delivery systems
have been implemented to control cost.
9
mathewvmaths@yahoo.co.in
TECHNOLOGY ADVANCES
 Technology has a major influence on health care
cost and services with advances in medicine and
technology.
 An individual’s life span can be in many cases
expanded.

mathewvmaths@yahoo.co.in
NEED FOR COLLABORATION BETWEEN
EDUCATION AND SERVICES
 The gap between nursing practice and education has its
historical roots in the separation of nursing schools from the
control of hospitals to which they were attached.
 At the time when schools of nursing were operated by
hospitals, it was students who largely staffed the wards and
learned the practice of nursing under the guidance of the
nursing staff.
 However, under the then prevailing circumstances, service
needs often took precedence over student’s learning needs.
 The creation of separate institutions for nursing education with
independent administrative structures, budget and staff was
therefore considered necessary in order to provide an
effective educational environment towards enhancing students
learning experiences and laying the foundation for further
educational development
11
mathewvmaths@yahoo.co.in
NEED FOR COLLABORATION BETWEEN
EDUCATION AND SERVICES
 While separation was beneficial in advancing
education, it has also had adverse effects.
 Under the divided system, the nurse educators are
no longer the practicing nurses in the wards.
 As a result, they are no longer directly in the
delivery of nursing services nor are they
responsible for quality of care provided in the
clinical settings used for student’s learning.
 The practicing nurses have little opportunity to
share their practical knowledge with students and
no longer share the responsibility for ensuring
relevance of the training that the students receive
12
mathewvmaths@yahoo.co.in
NEED FOR COLLABORATION BETWEEN
EDUCATION AND SERVICES
 As the gap between education and practice has
widened,there are now significant differences between
what is taught in the classroom and what is practiced in
the service settings
 Most nursing leaders also assert that something has
been lost with the move from hospital based schools of
nursing to the collegiate setting.
 The familiar observation that graduate nurses can
"theorize but not catheterize" reflects the concern that
graduate nurses often lack practical skills despite their
significant knowledge of nursing process and theory.
 Nursing educators know that development of technical
expertise in the modern hospital is possible only through
on-the-job exposure to the latest equipment and medical
interventions.
13
mathewvmaths@yahoo.co.in
NEED FOR COLLABORATION BETWEEN
EDUCATION AND SERVICES
 Schools of nursing have tried to bridge this gap using
state-of-the-art simulation laboratories, supervised
clinical experiences in the hospital, and summer
internships
 The hospital industry has also recognized the need to
support a graduate nurse with additional training.
 As a result, graduate nurses are required to attend an
orientation to the hospital and have additional
supervised practice before they can function
independently in the hospital.
 The cost of orienting a new nursing graduate is
significant, particularly with high levels of nursing
turnover (Reiter, Young, & Adamson, 2007). 14

COLLABORATION ISSUES WITHIN
NURSING
Collaboration and the nursing shortage
 For the practicing Nursing, staffing is an issue of
both professional and personal concern.
 Inappropriate staffing levels can not only threaten
patient health and safety, and lead to greater
complexity of care, but also impact on Nurses
health and safety by increasing nurse pressure,
fatigue, injury rate, and ability to provide safe care.
 This stress can lead to ineffective collaboration
work among the nurses.
24
mathewvmaths@yahoo.co.in
COLLABORATION ISSUES WITHIN
NURSING
Mandatory Overtime
 Staff nurses across the world are reporting a
dramatic increase in the use of mandatory overtime
as a staffing tool.
 This dangerous staffing practice, in part due to a
nursing shortage, is having a negative impact on
patient care, fostering medical errors, and driving
nurses away from the bedside.
25
mathewvmaths@yahoo.co.in
COLLABORATION ISSUES WITHIN
NURSING
Safety on the Job
 Staff nurses work hard on the job, but they
shouldn't have to risk their health to do so.
 Unless and until a safe environment is provided for
the nurse the quality of care that they provide also
get hindered.
26
mathewvmaths@yahoo.co.in
COLLABORATION ISSUES WITHIN
NURSING
Workplace bullying
 Workplace bullying is a serious issue effecting the
nursing profession.
 It is defined as any type of repetitive abuse in which
the victim of the bulling behavior suffer verbal
abuse, threats, humiliating or intimidating behaviors
or behavior by the perpetrator that interfere with his
or her job performance and are meant to place risk.
27
mathewvmaths@yahoo.co.in
COLLABORATION ISSUES WITHIN
NURSING
Lack of respect
 Nursing can be a gratifying profession; however, nurses
continue to experience lack of respect from their
patients, doctors, administrators, and even from their
coworkers.
 Medscape’s online survey (2011) reported that 31.4
percent of the respondents interviewed identified "lack of
respect from other healthcare providers/non-nurses" as
being one of the most distressing job factors .”
 Also, in an ANA 2011 Health and Safety Survey, physical
assault and verbal abuse were shown to have gone
down but the issue still remains to be a big concern.

28
mathewvmaths@yahoo.co.in
LACK OF RESPECT
 RNs in theurvey reported that “on-the-job assault” was
one of their top-three safety concerns.
 The survey reported that within a 12-month period, 11
percent of RNs were physically assaulted and 52
percent were either threatened or verbally abused.
 Many cases go unreported because some feel that this
problem is just part of their job.
 Many of the problems in nursing are due to the lack of
legislation to address these issues.
 Because the health care industry is constantly evolving
due to health reform, more problems will continue to
emerge.
29
mathewvmaths@yahoo.co.in
COLLABORATION ISSUES WITHIN
NURSING
 Regulatory barrier
 Societies of medical profession continue to try limit
advanced practice through legislative and
regulatory reforms.
 Legislation and regulation have been barrier to the
implementation of collaborative role.
 Collaboration cannot be mandated. It is a process
that develop over the time
30
mathewvmaths@yahoo.co.in
COLLABORATION ISSUES OUTSIDE
NURSING
 Nursing is the largest health care work force of the
world
 Nursing, as a profession, can be very rewarding
and challenging, however many problems exist and
most are becoming worse due to lack of legislation
to address these issues.
31
mathewvmaths@yahoo.co.in
DISCIPLINARY DIFFERENCE
 Often clinicians differ in their basic philosophy of
care.
 In earlier days it was practiced as physician
supervise advanced nursing practice.
 But now the view advanced that supervision
precludes the development of a collaborative
relationship and that physicians not fully supervise
nurse but works in collaboration with them rather
than supervision there should be preferably the
scope of autonomous nursing management and
identify high risk population within a particular
population or practice. 32
mathewvmaths@yahoo.co.in
MEETING PATIENT EXPECTATIONS
 In one out of three patients who stayed in a hospital
at least one night, reported that “nurses weren't
available when needed or didn't respond quickly to
requests for help." (IN USA)
 Meeting patient expectations is hard enough as it is
and some people fear it may worsen as healthcare
and the elderly population increases.
 They also worry that nurses will be stretched too
thinly and may not be able to achieve the needs
and demands for their patients.
33

mathewvmaths@yahoo.co.in
MODELS OF COLLABORATION
1. Clinical school of nursing model (1995)
2. Dedicated Education Unit Clinical Teaching Model
(1999)
3. Practice-Research Model (PRM) (2001)
4. Collaborative Clinical Education Epworth Deakin
(CCEED) model (2003)
5. The Collaborative Approach to Nursing Care
(CAN- Care) Model (2006)
6. The Bridge to Practice Model (2008)
35
mathewvmaths@yahoo.co.in
CONCLUSION
 All the models pursue collaboration as a means of
developing trust, recognizing the equal value of
stakeholders and bringing mutual benefit to both
partners in order to promote high quality research,
continued professional education and quality health
care.
 Application of these models can reduce the
perceived gap between education and service in
nursing thereby can help in the development of
competent and efficient nurses for the betterment of
nursing profession
