Assessment 1 Instructions: Collaboration and Leadership
Reflection Video
For this assessment you will create a 5-10 minute video reflection on an experience in which you collaborated
interprofessionally, as well as a brief discussion of an interprofessional collaboration scenario and how it could have
been better approached.
Interprofessional collaboration is a critical aspect of a nurse’s work. Through interprofessional collaboration,
practitioners and patients share information and consider each other’s perspectives to better understand and
address the many factors that contribute to health and well-being (Sullivan et al., 2015). Essentially, by
collaborating, health care practitioners and patients can have better health outcomes. Nurses, who are often at the
frontlines of interacting with various groups and records, are full partners in this approach to health care.
Reflection is a key part of building interprofessional competence, as it allows you to look critically at experiences
and actions through specific lenses. From the standpoint of interprofessional collaboration, reflection can help you
consider potential reasons for and causes of people’s actions and behaviors (Saunders et al., 2016). It also can
provide opportunities to examine the roles team members adopted in a given situation as well as how the team
could have worked more effectively.
As you begin to prepare this assessment you are encouraged to complete the What is Reflective Practice? activity.
The activity consists of five questions that will allow you the opportunity to practice self-reflection. The information
gained from completing this formative will help with your success on the Collaboration and Leadership Reflection
Video assessment. Completing formatives is also a way to demonstrate course engagement
Note: The Example Kaltura Reflection demonstrates how to cite sources appropriately in an oral presentation/video.
The Example Kaltura Reflection video is not a reflection on the Vila Health activity. Your reflection assessment will
focus on both your professional experience and the Vila Health activity as described in the scenario.

Professional Context Professional Context
This assessment will help you to become a reflective practitioner. By considering your own successes and
shortcomings in interprofessional collaboration, you will increase awareness of your problem-solving abilities. You
will create a video of your reflections, including a discussion of best practices of interprofessional collaboration and
leadership strategies, cited in the literature.
Scenario Scenario
As part of an initiative to build effective collaboration at your Vila Health site, where you are a nurse, you have been
asked to reflect on a project or experience in which you collaborated interprofessionally and examine what
happened during the collaboration, identifying positive aspects and areas for improvement.
You have also been asked to review a series of events that took place at another Vila Health location and research
interprofessional collaboration best practices and use the lessons learned from your experiences to make
recommendations for improving interprofessional collaboration among their team. Your task is to create a 5–10
minute video reflection with suggestions for the Vila Health team that can be shared with leadership as well as Vila
Health colleagues at your site. Note: If you require the use of assistive technology or alternative communication
methods to participate in this activity, please contact DisabilityServices@Capella.edu to request accommodations. If,
for some reason, you are unable to record a video, please contact your faculty member as soon as possible to
explore options for completing the assessment.
Instructions Instructions
Using Kaltura, record a 5–10 minute video reflection on an interprofessional collaboration experience from your

personal practice, proposing suggestions on how to improve the collaboration presented in the Vila Health:
Collaboration for Change activity.
Be sure that your assessment addresses the following criteria. Please study the scoring guide carefully so you will
know what is needed for a distinguished score:
Reflect on an interdisciplinary collaboration experience, noting ways in which it was successful and
unsuccessful in achieving desired outcomes.
Identify how poor collaboration can result in inefficient management of human and financial resources, citing
supporting evidence from the literature.
Identify best-practice leadership strategies from the literature that would improve an interdisciplinary team’s
ability to achieve its goals, citing at least one author from the literature.
Identify best-practice interdisciplinary collaboration strategies to help a team achieve its goals and work
together, citing the work of at least one author.
Communicate in a professional manner, is easily audible, and uses proper grammar. Format reference list in
current APA style.
You will need to relate an experience that you have had collaborating on a project. This could be at your current or
former place of practice, or another relevant project that will enable you to address the requirements. In addition to
describing your experience, you should explain aspects of the collaboration that helped the team make progress
toward relevant goals or outcomes, as well as aspects of the collaboration that could have been improved.
A simplified gap-analysis approach may be useful:
What happened?
What went well?
What did not go well?
What should have happened?
After your personal reflection, examine the scenario in the Vila Health activity and discuss the ways in which the
interdisciplinary team did not collaborate effectively and the negative implications for the human and financial
resources of the interdisciplinary team and the organization as a whole.
Building on this investigation, identify at least one leadership best practice or strategy that you believe would
improve the team’s ability to achieve their goals. Be sure to identify the strategy and its source or author and
provide a brief rationale for your choice of strategy.
Additionally, identify at least one interdisciplinary collaboration best practice or strategy to help the team achieve
its goals and work more effectively together. Again, identify the strategy, its source, and reasons why you think it
will be effective.
You are encouraged to integrate lessons learned from your self-reflection to support and enrich your discussion of
the Vila Health activity.
You are required to submit an APA-formatted reference list for any sources that you cited specifically in your video
or used to inform your presentation. The Example Kaltura Reflection will show you how to cite scholarly sources in
the context of an oral presentation.
Refer to the Campus tutorial Using Kaltura [PDF] as needed to record and upload your reflection.
